Extract network user login in a java web application

Question

Is there a way to extract the username logged into the network from a Java web-based application?

That answer depends much on the architecture of your application. We need much more information. — Tripp Kinetics, Aug 07 '15 at 15:30
With a windows application, we can extract the username logged into the network from HttpContext.Curret.Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"]. Is there a way to do the same from a java web-based application? — lilylove2shop, Aug 07 '15 at 16:24
What do you mean? Are you simply trying to get the user logged in to the computer or are you running a Tomcat server and wish to know the user it is running as or something else? I think we need some more information to be able to answer. — carpenter, Aug 07 '15 at 16:43

This should do the trick.

System.getProperty("user.name");
