the "authenticationService.getCurrentUserName();" is the right choice (I use it myself)

Maybe you could give us your bean descriptor (web-scripts-application-context.xml) and your Java class, so that we find the problem ?

Hi Guise.
I am using the same thing.
getAuthenticationService().getCurrentUserName()

But it always returns "admin".

It should return the name of the logged in user, but it's not happening.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

If you need get the current user in java backed webscript frm Share. Code as below,

import org.springframework.extensions.surf.RequestContext;
import org.springframework.extensions.surf.support.ThreadLocalRequestContext;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractWebScript;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptRequest;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptResponse;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.connector.User;

public class DemoAction extends AbstractWebScript {
    @Override
    public void execute(WebScriptRequest request, WebScriptResponse response) {
        RequestContext context = ThreadLocalRequestContext.getRequestContext();
        User user = context.getUser();
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
