Get salesforce logged in user

[alana_]

Hello,

I am using the OpenCTI API. One of the methods I could use to possibley obtain the logged in user of Salesforce is the method 'runApex'. So, I created an Apex class below. However, I am unable to get the user. Does anybody know how to successfully obtain the salesforce user from the Apex class. Any ideas?

global class GetCurrentUser{

    webService static String getUserName(String name) {
        System.debug('User Id: ' + UserInfo.getUserId());
        return UserInfo.getUserId();
    }
}

Once you have the User Id (from UserInfo.getUserId()), you can use it to query the User object:

User u = [select Id, username from User where Id = :UserInfo.getUserId()]

Once you get the id, following information can be queried using SOQL query.
