As you are using Spring Security You could use SecurityContextHolder from Spring 

User user = (org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User)SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
String name = user.getUsername(); //get logged in username

And then use JDK function for generating UUID

java.util.UUID.randomUUID()

Updated

I would not recommend to use thread local for storing this info, ideally you could store this info in current http session. If you use stateless session you could use session provided by your auth server and use access token to store this information. Most of the auth services aloud to create custom fields in the access token.
