Question

I want to create new instance of a domain class with one field witch will be the username of currently logged in user. I’m using Spring security & Spring Security UI. Please give me some code example.

Answer 1

To get to the currently logged user, you can use dependency injection in your controller to get access to the springSecurityService, and from there, currently logged in user’s username.

def springSecurityService // will be injected by DI

... in controller method,

    def currentUsername = new MyDomainClassWithUsername(springSecurityService.currentUser.username)        
    currentUsername.save()
