RE: Getting username in webfacing

I've just found this in one of the jsp's:

<jsp:useBean id='PEDIDO' scope='request'
type="com.ibm.as400ad.webfacing.runtime.view.IDisplayRecord"
/>

And in that page it uses the method PEDIDO.getUserID()

It works for my needs. I don't know if this method is
applicable to every bean of that type.
