How to attemp sec:loggedInUserInfo into a variable in gsp

Question

I want to get value of sec:loggedInUserInfo and attempt into a variable named user.

My code looks like this:

<sec:loggedInUserInfo field="username" /> 

<%
  def user = *value of field loggedInUserInfo *
%>

Is it possible for doing that?

Answer 1

This is simpler and works fine for me:

<g:set var="user" value="${sec.username()}" />

Answer 2

To assign any field of the UserDetails instance referred to by <sec:loggedInUserInfo> to a variable you can use:

<g:set var="fullName" value="${sec.loggedInUserInfo(field:'fullName')}" />
