SEC-2726: Add a getStrategyName method to SecurityContextHolder

[spring-projects-issues]

Magnus Hovén (Migrated from SEC-2726) said:

I have a client API that is used both by a desktop application and a web service. The strategy used by the SecurityContextHolder differs depending on if it is run as a web service (MODE_THREADLOCAL) or as a desktop application (MODE_GLOBAL). I have a case where a thread pool is used and for these threads I want to clear the context if it is a web service (for security reasons), but I can't do that for the desktop application since it would clear the context for all threads because of the global mode. In my case it would be very practical if I could call SecurityContextHolder.getStrategyName() to retrieve the strategy used and then I can choose to clear the context or not depending on what strategy that is used. Since the strategy is set in xml configuration file and since it also can be changed at run time, I think it would be much more cumbersome to try to retrieve the value in some other way.

So my suggestion is to add a getStrategyName method to SecurityContextHolder.
