How can i retrieve from inside my Bean(Stateless session and Entity CMP) the user name which i am serving (the user name of user just logged in my web application)

Inside an EJB you may retrieve the "Caller" name, that is the login id by invoking: sessionContext.getCallerIdentity().getName() where sessionContext is the instance of "SessionContext" (setSessionContext) passed to the Session Bean, or the instance of "EntityContext" (setEntityContext) passed to the Entity Bean.

u can get the information abt the client(who invoked the bean) by the EJBContext methods.There r 2 types
1)SessionContext and 2)EntityContext.
These r used get the information abt the container,the client and get reference of the bean itself.
