Security tag to get username

[-FoX-]

How can I use the Spring 2.0 security tag to get the user information?

In acegi security, we used:

<authz:authentication operation="id"/>

But that doesn't work anymore.
I've already tried to use following

<security:authentication property="principal.id"/>
<security:authentication property="id"/>

without success... can somebody point me in the right direction?

For me the following works:

<%@ taglib prefix="security" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags" %>

<security:authentication property="principal.username" />
<br/>
<security:authentication property="principal.id" />

Look also at sample tutorial:
samples\tutorial\src\main\webapp\secure\index.jsp

Nope, that doesn't work for me... can't find property exception.

Other suggestions?

The valid properties will depend on what's stored in your Authentication object:
