don't understand exactly what you want to do... If you can't do it a more simple way : - get the Principal of the user - then use the JMX user module and role module to get all the user information (portal user informations). to get the Pricipal : - starting from the context of invocation, you may find a way to retrieve it - from the ctx, or from the session etc... just ideas...
