Question

I am new to Symfony 2 and never used any framework before.

I created 2 bundles, one for core site which url is as root / it is DefaultBundle then I created a new UserBundle and set all the routing to /user/ the login page is /user/login and it is working fine.

So far I am able to login the user and every thing seems working.

Question really is, how can I check in DefaultBundle that a user is logged in, so I show them Welcome User instead of login/register links on top right side of the front end website.

p.s. I dont need FOSuserBundle as answer,

below is from my security.yml file

jms_security_extra:
    secure_all_services: false
    expressions: true

security:
    encoders:
       Aala\Vital\UserBundle\Entity\User: 
          algorithm: plaintext
#              encode_as_base64: false
#              iterations: 1

role_hierarchy:
    ROLE_ADMIN:       ROLE_USER
    ROLE_MOD:       ROLE_USER
    ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_MOD, ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]

providers:
    user_area:
      entity: {class: AalaVitalUserBundle:User, property: email}

firewalls:

    login:
        pattern:  ^/user/login$
        security: false
        anonymous: true

    user_area:
        pattern:    ^/user
        form_login:
            login_path: /user/login
            check_path: /user/login_check
            post_only: true
            default_target_path: /user/
        logout:
            path:   /user/logout
            target: /user/

    main:
        pattern: ^/
        security: true
        anonymous: ~


access_control:
    - { path: /.*, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
    - { path: ^/user, roles: ROLE_USER }

My Folder Structure is as follows

-src
    -Aala
        -Vital
            -FronendBundle
            -UserBundle

Edit:

Is this can be done with dependency injection? if yes how to do that…

To share the authentication between two firewalls use context. Below is the updated firewalls section from my security.yml file

firewalls:

    login:
        pattern:  ^/user/login$
        security: false
        anonymous: true

    user_area:
        pattern:    ^/user
        context: primary_auth
        form_login:
            login_path: /user/login
            check_path: /user/login_check
            post_only: true
            default_target_path: /user/
        logout:
            path:   /user/logout
            target: /user/

    main:
        pattern: ^/
        context: primary_auth
        security: true
        anonymous: ~
