hi,

I've implemented spring security (2.0.3) using BasicAuthentication. This
seems to work fine. I'm however facing a strange problem when trying to use
the authentication tag to display the name of the user that logged in:
nothing is displayed.
When debugging this tag I see that
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() is null.

Also, following simply outputs null in the browser:
<%= SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() %>

So, it looked like maybe the authentication wasn't working as well as I
thought but if I debug a random controller and check the value of
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() there, then it does
contain the expected principal.

Some of the possibly related information:

JSP

<%@ taglib prefix="sec" uri="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags"
%>
...
<sec:authentication property="principal.username"/>

I've attached the spring-security config:

thanks for any help!
