How to get Current User name in java backed webscript

yasosaran

Hello Everyone,

How to get current user name in share. I have a custom java backed dashlet, and I would like get the current user name in the custom dashlet and do some query based on that and put those results in the model.

I am not sure how to get the current user name. I tried using AuthenticationUtil.getRunAsUser() and it is returning null. I also tried authenticationService .getCurrentUsername() and add the reference in my bean descriptor,, and its throwing No such bean defined exception.

Could someone please help me?

Thanks

the "authenticationService.getCurrentUserName();" is the right choice (I use it myself)

Maybe you could give us your bean descriptor (web-scripts-application-context.xml) and your Java class, so that we find the problem ?

Hi Guise.
I am using the same thing.
getAuthenticationService().getCurrentUserName()

But it always returns "admin".

It should return the name of the logged in user, but it's not happening.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

If you need get the current user in java backed webscript frm Share. Code as below,

import org.springframework.extensions.surf.RequestContext;
import org.springframework.extensions.surf.support.ThreadLocalRequestContext;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractWebScript;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptRequest;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptResponse;
import org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.connector.User;

public class DemoAction extends AbstractWebScript {
    @Override
    public void execute(WebScriptRequest request, WebScriptResponse response) {
        RequestContext context = ThreadLocalRequestContext.getRequestContext();
        User user = context.getUser();
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
