Security Context Holder Jspx

How can i get already logged in user authority in jspx page? like SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthenticati on().getName()

I assume you mean the name from the principal (there is not getName() on Authentication). You can use the Spring Security authentication tag to access properties on the Authentication object. For example the following will be the equivalent of SecurityContextHolder.getAuthentication().getPrinc ipal().getName()

Code:

---

<jsp:root xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
    xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/tags"
    xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0">

  ...
    <sec:authentication property="principal.name"/>
  ...
</jsp:root>
