How to get logged in username in WCM JSP component page

I need to know if there is a way to get the logged in username in WCM JSP component in IBM Websphere Portal 8. I dont even know where to begin looking for this solution.

Solution

  • I believe you can get current username via 

    request.getUserPrincipal().getName()

    You can use Puma api as well to get more detailed user information.
