hi, I've implemented spring security (2.0.3) using BasicAuthentication. This seems to work fine. I'm however facing a strange problem when trying to use the authentication tag to display the name of the user that logged in: nothing is displayed. When debugging this tag I see that SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() is null.
Also, following simply outputs null in the browser: <%= SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() %> So, it looked like maybe the authentication wasn't working as well as I thought but if I debug a random controller and check the value of SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() there, then it does contain the expected principal. Some of the possibly related information: JSP <%@ taglib prefix="sec" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags"; %> ... <sec:authentication property="principal.username"/> Pom.xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId> <artifactId>spring-security-taglibs</artifactId> <version>2.0.3</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-support</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId> <artifactId>spring-security-acl</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> I've attached the spring-security config: http://www.nabble.com/file/p25341903/talking-ccare-security.xml talking-ccare-security.xml thanks for any help!
