Getting username in managed beans of ADF/ Webcenter applications.

In many situations we need to get the current logged in username in managed beans.
It is easy to get the username through EL by putting #{securityContext.username},but what about to get the same thing in managed beans/ java code.

I have found couple of methods to find the same results.I will share it with you soon.......

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import oracle.adf.share.ADFContext;

public class UtilityBean {
    public UtilityBean() {
        super();
    }
   
    public String getUserNameMethod1(){
       
        FacesContext fc=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        String userName=fc.getExternalContext().getRemoteUser();
       
        return userName;
        }
   
  public String getUserNameMethod2(){
     
      ADFContext afc=ADFContext.getCurrent();
      String userName=afc.getSecurityContext().getUserName();
     
      return userName;
      }
}
