import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;

public class Test {
public static final void main( String args[] ) {
for ( Map.Entry<Object,Object> entry :
System.getProperties().entrySet() )
System.out.println(entry.getKey()+": "+entry.getValue());
}
}

That *is* "proper syntax".

If it doesn't compile,
- install Java 1.5
- OR replace the for by an Iterator loop
- OR just use System.out.println(System.getProperties());

- OR replace the for by an Iterator loop

(after removing everything in between "<" and ">")

private String username = System.getProperty("user.name");

Hi,
The only problem with using this method is that it is possible to
change your USERNAME system property to something else (i.e. admin) via
a command propmt (set USERNAME=admin), and then start the application.
If the application is started in the same command dialog, the
application would then get this new name (i.e. admin), when calling
System.getProperty("user.name");

I also would like to get the windows user name from the client, but i
do not like this method due to the above reason. Does anybody else have
another idea?

Thanks,
Jamie

The jaas framework will return OS-specific login information if
requested - including Windows usernames and domains and Unix user/group
IDs,

If you mean Windows Active Directory and you mean you have a Web
Application ...

Google "NTLM Authentification" and JCIFS.
