'How to get username of person who had hit the custom build Rest API in my Java code?

I am trying to build a custom build plugin using Atlassian sdk framework and in that I have developed a Rest API to fetch data saved in Active Objects database tables and I am using basic authentication in postman where I need to provide my local Jira username and password.

In my plugin code, I am storing data using active objects and following code I am using to fetch the stored data in active objects table:

// To delete all the rules present in database table
@DELETE
@Path("/debug/delete/rules")
public Response deleteAllRules() {

    boolean result = rules.deleteAllStoredRules();
    if (result) {
        return Response.noContent().build();
    }
    return Response.status(205).build();
}

Can anyone please help me to find a way to fetch username provided in basic authentication in my java code?

The simplest way to retrieve the currently authenticated principal is via a static call to the SecurityContextHolder:

Authentication authentication = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
String currentPrincipalName = authentication.getName();
