Class SecurityContextHolder

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.backend.security.SecurityContextHolder
public final class SecurityContextHolder extends Object

Who the calling thread's request is from.

Authentication who = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();

The context belongs to the thread serving a request, for the length of that request: the chain that guards the request fills it in, and the server clears it when the request ends. It does not follow work handed to another thread -- an @Async method or a scheduled job starts with none.
