Grails Spring Security session.user is null

In a previous application, we were able to access the session.user.PROPERTY from our controllers which we were using annotation for the security. In a new application, we decided to use the RequestMap for storing the rules. When checking for a value from the user domain class in the controller, we get an NullPointerException error stating that session.user is a null object.

In the previous application it was convenient to access session.user.WHATEVER and have access to user info directly from the session without having to query the user info with the principal.id.

If you're trying to retrieve the currently logged-in user, the easiest way to do this is to use the springSecurityService bean, e.g.

class MyController {

  def springSecurityService

  def myAction() {
    def currentUser = springSecurityService.currentUser
  }
}
