Can anyone please help me to get user id from logged user

I have also tried using

Authentication authentication = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
Users user =(Users)authentication.getPrincipal();

but it still did not work

Answer 1

The simplest approach would be to leverage the UserDetails and UserDetailsService interfaces.

Write a simple UserDetailsService:

@Service
public class CustomUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {
    @Override
    public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
        return findUserByUsername(username); //load the user from somewhere (e.g. Database)
    }
}

Have your Users class implement the UserDetails interface:

public class Users implements UserDetails {
    private String username;
    private String userId;
    private String password;
    private String role;

    public Users(String username, String userId, String password, String role) {
        this.username = username;
        this.userId = userId;
        this.password = password;
        this.role = role;
    }

    //...

}

Finally, when you call this static method you'll receive the Users object from which you can extract the userId:

Users user = (Users) SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
