Well.. depends... what are you doing for authentication? Container managed
security?
Then no. HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal
If you did it yourself... sure.
On the other hand... better is to simply create a BaseAction that has a method
getUser( HttpRequest request) that returns your user object. That way you can
hide that implementation.
