Detecting the currently connected user to Tomcat

[Guy]

Hello

I have a java servlet that runs on a Tomcat server. I have a static
html page that has a user/password authentication which redirects to
the servlet itself (kind of "login").

Now I need to enable/disable certain features in the servlet according
to the user logged in. Is there a way to programatically know which
user has logged in to my page ?

Thanks

Guy

Of course, he just logged in at your site. This means he just filled in
his username, that should give you a hint as to who's logged in...
