On my resource: public class UserActsServerResource extends ServerResource implements UserActsResource {...
I am able to use: public final Representation represent() { ... User user = UserHelpers.getCurrentUser(this.getRequest(), this.getResponse()); and this.getRequest() returns a useful value. But I have no idea why this is not working for you. I am using the GAE Edition. Perhaps the problem is in some other location of your code/configuration??
