+ * Allows resolving the {@link Authentication#getPrincipal()} using the
+ * {@link CurrentSecurityContext} annotation. For example, the following
+ * {@link Controller}:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * &#64;Controller
+ * public class MyController {
+ *     &#64;MessageMapping("/im")
+ *     public void im(@CurrentSecurityContext SecurityContext context) {
+ *         // do something with context
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Will resolve the SecurityContext argument using the {@link ReactiveSecurityContextHolder}.
+ * If the {@link SecurityContext} is empty, it will return null. If the types do not
+ * match, null will be returned unless
+ * {@link CurrentSecurityContext#errorOnInvalidType()} is true in which case a
+ * {@link ClassCastException} will be thrown.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Alternatively, users can create a custom meta annotation as shown below:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * &#064;Target({ ElementType.PARAMETER })
+ * &#064;Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
+ * &#064;CurrentSecurityContext(expression = "authentication?.principal")
+ * public @interface CurrentUser {
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The custom annotation can then be used instead. For example:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * &#64;Controller
+ * public class MyController {
+ *     &#64;MessageMapping("/im")
+ *     public void im(@CurrentUser CustomUser customUser) {
+ *         // do something with CustomUser
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * </pre>
