Hello i am still a bit new to these technologies so please bear with me. I have a simple jsp page which i have restricted access to in my web-xml file. I am using form based security so when the user tries to access this resource a login page is displayed. If the user has the rights to enter i.e. their details match the tomcat-users file then they are allowed access to the resource. Is there a way to pass these details to my jsp page so i have access to the current user
