When using Spring Security, what is the proper way to obtain current username (i.e. SecurityContext) information in a bean?

If you are using Spring 3, the easiest way is:

 @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)   
 public ModelAndView showResults(final HttpServletRequest request, Principal principal) {

     final String currentUser = principal.getName();

 }
