OAS 10g System Properties in JSPs

[Michael Moser]

I am having a problem getting System.getProperty to work right in a JSP in the Oracle Application Server 10g. I have a JSP in a web app that needs to display the System.getProperty("user.name") value. I am logged in to the WIN2K SP4 box as testuser but I get "System" as the value from the getProperty call. I must be reading application level properties and not System but I thought the System.getProperty call went all the way out to the host VM. Anybody have any ideas?

I just ran a properties dump on an OAS 10G J2EE system I'm developing and it does indeed come back with SYSTEM for user.name from a servlet.

Not sure what you were expecting though... JSP is converted to a servlet which is not going to be run as the user you are "logged in as".

Yeah, you're right. I was expecting something easy and hoping against hope. I didn't want to have to go through OID to read the Active Directory on the box but it looks like I have no choice.

Thanks for the reply!
