Hello all,

Im not sure if this is the correct mailing list for this question as it
relates to the servlet container more than anything.
I use "j_security_check" to allow users to log in to my website, and I would
like to know how I can obtain the username of those who are successfully
logged on.

I have tried:

String usrnme = request.getParameter("j_username");

but this returns null.

Can anyone help

Thanks in advance
Richard
