We do something similar. We have implemented a RequestFilter that pushes the HttpSession ID (if any) onto the Log4j Nested Diagnostics Context (NDC) before the request, and pops it afterwards. I guess that the same approach could be used for pushing usernames in the SLF4J MDC, provided that you can get hold of them from a RequestFilter.
Good to know: Tapestry 5.1 stores @SessionStateObjects in the session under the key "sso:" + MySessionStateObject.class.getName().
