Question

After authenticating a user using CXF WSAuthentication Interceptor… I need the username in the service implementation (Business Logic). Wondering if there is a easy way to get access to the Username in the Implementation class?

Answer 1

declare these in your implementation class:

@Resource
private WebServiceContext wsContext;

then in any method do:

Principal p = wsContext.getUserPrinciple();
String username = p.getName();

@Resource instructs the web service stack to inject the web service context into your wsContext attribute.
