Supported Way to Emulate request.getUserPrincipal?

[sethladd]

Did you change the order of your filters? Maybe another filter farther down the chain is re-wrapping the Request object?

Hi Seth,
yes...I did that - I tried it at every possible order - from first to last but it didn't work.
(The ony difference was that when it ContextHolderAwareRequestFilter was first in the chain it didn't have any acegi context)

I'm still not able to figure out how to use the ContextHolderAwareRequestFilter as a part of FilterChainProxy....so at the moment I just call it directly from web.xml (just like in version 0.7).

Please let me know If anybody has any suggestions on how to implement it using the filter chain proxy :-)

Thanks

Peter

Peter,

Can you post your config?

Thanks,

ContextHolderAwareRequestFilter integration with FilterChainProxy could well be a bug, as Matt also noticed in http://forum.springframework.org/viewtopic.php?t=3933. I promise to look at it ASAP. In the meantime I would expect you can continue to use it via FilterToBeanProxy (ie outside FilterChainProxy).

Hi Ben,
thanks for answer and pointing to Matt's thread...he nicely summed up my last Saturday :-)
First the logging out and then the filter chain...

FilterChainProxy is now fixed and in CVS.
