Looks like you did not read
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents#HTheXWi…
fully and are mixing ExecutionContext and XWikiContext,
ExecutionContext does not have any typed methods, it's just a map
basically and most of the time you don't really use it directly but
use an API that manipulate the context.
For what you need the simplest in a component is usually to use
org.xwiki.bridge.DocumentAccessBridge component (from
xwiki-platform-bridge module) until a proper user manager api is
introduced.

What's the right way to get the current user from
the execution context within a Java component?
Taking the example from the guide
(http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents) I thought it would
be something like the following, which won't compile for me due to the getLocalUser
symbol not being found.
import org.xwiki.context.Execution;
import org.xwiki.context.ExecutionContext;
...
@Inject
private Execution execution;
@Override
public String sayHello()
{
ExecutionContext context = execution.getContext();
String user = context.getLocalUser();
return "Hello " + user;
}
I note that in
http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/archive/or…
the getLocalUser() method is deprecated in lieu of getUserReference() but I'd really
rather deal with a String if at all possible.
