How do I get current user from a restlet?

I don't want to use Seam for my restlet.

Hi,

you can get the principal from the HttpServletRequest object using HttpServletRequest#getUserPrincipal() .

Note that Restlet is not what Nuxeo recommends for REST APIs. We prefer Content Automation or JAX-RS/WebEngine.
