Gettting user information in my services

Question

Some of my services methods needs User information .My application uses spring acegi security , after authentication the acegi puts the user prinicipal in threadLocal so I can access it anywhere in web , in services everywhere.
Accessing the userinformation in services is not a problem , suppose in a service method I retrieve it from threadlocal it works fine , but if I unit test this method it would fail ,
I need suggestions on best practices, should I get the user in services from threadlocal or pass it to the service as a parameter, suppose , I pass it as a parameter i hvae to pass it in each and every method , please suggest me .

With FBA, you always search by the attribute specified in UserNameAttribute. If you want to do something else, then a custom claims provider/custom membership provider is likely required.
