How to print principal using JSF 2.0 + Facelets?

Question

with jsp I can easily print the logged in principal using: <%= request.getUserPrincipal() %> now I would like to do the same using JSF 2.0 + Facelets. How to do that? I have been trying for a while but no success so far.

Tx in advance.

Answer 1

<h:outputText value="#{request.getUserPrincipal()}" /> should work in JSF 2.0, if you want to merely display the current user.
