In Thymeleaf, session object can be easily accessed in a template:

with a session variable:

    ${session.foo} // Retrieves the session atttribute 'foo'
    ${session.size()}
    ${session.isEmpty()}
    ${session.containsKey('foo')}

with a #ctx object:

    ${#ctx.httpSession}

Look at the Thymeleaf documentation for accessing different context objects: http://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/tutorials/3.0/usingthymeleaf.html#expression-basic-objects

hello, is it possible to access currently logged in user via this `session` object? mainly for use in a `th:if` statement, maybe like: `
`? – Scaramouche Oct 09 '18 at 05:00
@Scaramouche you can but you have to put the bracelet after joe: th:if="${session.user.username == 'joe'}" – leachim May 27 '20 at 08:12

th:text="${session.user['tel']}"
