Alfresco connected user in Alfresco webscript

Question

In a Alfresco webscript I want to get connected user. In share webscript I know there is a root object called "user" which allows us to get connected user properties.

But in Alfresco webscript this root object is undefined. Actualy I have to pass connected user's userName as argument of the webscript url.

Is there a way to directly get user properties in alfresco webscript (javascript) ?

I'm using alfresco 5.0.d.
