Subject: Getting the authenticated user from Spring Security for use in an Action

I need to access information about the currently logged in user. I don't
think putting the user into the session during login is how it is supposed
to be done, but I have not found examples of how to get access to the
current user from Spring/Spring Security. Can someone please provide a link
or brief example of the best practice?


Thank you.
