If you have root resource classes you can do:
public MyBaseResource {
private @Context HttpServletRequest hsr;
public String getUserPrinciple() {
return hsr...
}
}
@Path("root")
public class MyRootResource exrends MyBaseResource {
}
You can also inject SecurityContext:
https://jsr311.dev.java.net/nonav/javadoc/javax/ws/rs/core/SecurityContext.html
instead of SecurityContext from which the user principle can be
obtained.
If you would like to inject the user principle directly please log an
issue (it is possible to add that support yourself as well but that is
more for advanced users and i can give details if you require).
