Question

i want to get the current user who is logged in and i used this way and i jave injected the SpringsecurityService and i am getting this error like "Caused by No such property: principal for class: grails.plugin.springsecurity.SpringSecurityService Possible solutions: principal".

Organization.controller

SpringSecurityService springSecurityService

 def user = springSecurityService.get(SpringSecurityService.principal.id)

Answer 1

Inject springSecurityService and call getCurrentUser()

Example:

class OrganizationController {

    def springSecurityService
    def myAction(){
       User user = springSecurityService.getCurrentUser() //where "User" is is user domain class or you can "def" also
    }
}

}

user will hold your current logged in user object.

Hope this will helps you
