From http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2206911/best-way-for-user-authentication-on-javaee-6-using-jsf-2-0
<h:form>
<h:outputLabel for="username" value="Username" />

<h:message for="password" />

@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class Auth {
private String username;
private String password;
private String originalURL;
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
originalURL = (String) externalContext.getRequestMap().get(RequestDispatcher.FORWARD_REQUEST_URI);
if (originalURL == null) {
originalURL = externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + "/home.xhtml";
} else {
String originalQuery = (String) externalContext.getRequestMap().get(RequestDispatcher.FORWARD_QUERY_STRING);
if (originalQuery != null) {
originalURI += "?" + originalQuery;
}
}
}
@EJB
private UserService userService;
public void login() throws IOException {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext = context.getExternalContext();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) externalContext.getRequest();
try {
request.login(username, password);
User user = userService.find(username, password);
externalContext.getSessionMap().put("user", user);
externalContext.redirect(originalURL);
} catch (ServletException e) {
// Handle unknown username/password in request.login().
context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Unknown login"));
}
}
public void logout() throws IOException {
ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
externalContext.invalidateSession();
externalContext.redirect(externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + "/login.xhtml");
}
// Getters/setters for username and password.
}
public String logout() {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().invalidateSession();
return "login?faces-redirect=true";
}
This is for getting the principal
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal();
