See http://www.coderanch.com/t/444353/Web-Component-Certification-SCWCD/certification/User-Role-config-server

Those methods tell you the identty of the user who sent the request the servlet is currently working on (her user name), and which roles she has. This information can be used to personalize the response, and to check whether this user should be allowed access to the various parts/pages of the web app.
