Re: User Attributes with Struts Portlet bridge on Fusion
Frank,
Thanks. RenderRequest's getRemoteUser returned me null, however the
getUserPrincipal() returns the value correctly. I thought both should
return the same value. Anyway, thanks for you help.
Later,
Hema

RE: User Attributes with Struts Portlet bridge on Fusion
Hema,
I'm not positive that you can "get" a list of the User's roles in a "direct"
way without rewriting the user-management implementation ... but you can
certainly check to see if a user is in a "specific role" by using the
PortletRequest object's "isUserInRole" and "getRemoteUser" methods ...
HTH,

Re: User Attributes with Struts Portlet bridge on Fusion
Thanks Frank. Redeployment seems to take care of it. I was thinking of
getting the login name, not the user first name. Now, how can I get
the logged in user's loginname and role?
Thanks,
Hema

RE: User Attributes with Struts Portlet bridge on Fusion
Make sure you re-deploy your portlet application, b/c J2 "caches" the
portlet.xml in the database and will not pick up changes to your portlet.xml
file if you edit it directly in "${webapps}/yourapp/WEB-INF/portlet.xml"
directly ...
