While I'm not sure if it's possible to get the httpServletRequest object back, it does appear to be possible to get a variety of other pieces of information back.


[code]
@Context
private SecurityContext ctx;

@GET
@Produces("text/plain")
public String getUserPrincipal() {
  return ctx.getUserPrincipal.getName();
}
[/code]
