Ouch. You're gonna get the cold shoulder with that kind of snarkiness.
Your original message said "authenticated user" in the body.
A quick look through Tomcat's source code shows:
$ grep SUBJECT_ATTR `find java/ -name "*.java"`
java/org/apache/catalina/connector/Request.java:
session.getAttribute(Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR) == null) {
java/org/apache/catalina/connector/Request.java:
session.setAttribute(Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR, subject);
java/org/apache/catalina/security/SecurityUtil.java:
(Subject)session.getAttribute(Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR);
java/org/apache/catalina/security/SecurityUtil.java:
session.setAttribute(Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR, subject);
java/org/apache/catalina/session/StandardSession.java:
Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR
java/org/apache/catalina/Globals.java: public static final String
SUBJECT_ATTR =
Taking a quick look at these classes shows that this:
> getSession().getAttribute(Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR);
should work. Of course, there's always a chance that the subject is
null. In most cases in the code, when the Subject is null, a new Subject
object is created with no arguments and thrown into the session under
the Globals.SUBJECT_ATTR key.
