Hello all,
Im not sure if this is the correct mailing list for this question as it relates to the servlet container more than anything. I use "j_security_check" to allow users to log in to my website, and I would like to know how I can obtain the username of those who are successfully logged on.
I have tried:
String usrnme = request.getParameter("j_username");
but this returns null.
Can anyone help
Thanks in advance Richard
