This question has been asked (and answered to) earlier, but I am still
unsure:
I am using container managed security with form-based authentication. I
am really happy with how it works. But now I would like to perform an
action when a user has authenticated, such as loading user preferences
and store them in the session.
First I thought I could use a HttpSessionListener for that. Now I know
when a new session has been created, but what I am missing is the
username. The only way to get it seems to be from a request using
getRemoteUser(). Or am I wrong? I really hope I am...
I read about setting up a filter but then read somewhere else that this
is not reliable.
I also found this article "Active Authentication"
http://java.sys-con.com/read/37660.htm which sounds interesting but the
link to the source code is broken, so I don't get how to implement that.
Can someone help me out?
