sitemesh + spring security: show logged in user in main decorator page!

Question

I want to show logged in user in main decorator page. i use :

<decorator:usePage id="myPage"/>
Logged in as:<%= myPage.getRequest().getUserPrincipal().getName()%>
<decorator:body/>

but not work!

Answer 1

Haven't worked with SiteMesh for quite some time, but why aren't you using the implicit request object instead (I assume your pages are written in JSP, right?)

<%= request.getUserPrincipal().getName() %>

And what's exactly not working? Is an exception getting thrown?
