How can i get the user id in a JSR168 Portlet ? I tried using
"request.getUserPrincipal().getName()", where request --> RenderRequest. Any
 help is appreciated.

Do a search in the forum about getting Portal User information in a JSR 168 
portlet ? There are number of threads about this. Also may I ask why do you 
need a Java Principal Object inside your portlet.

he portlet accordingly.

Thanks

You may want to look at this technote from IBM.[url]http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docvie

rl] I think if you just need to get the logged in Portal User Name you shoul
d be using USER_INFO
attribute.. Hope this helps.
