Hi Avinash:
I have not followed your description very carefully - my eyes started
glazing over about mid-way..;) - but here's a thought (and I'm only
going by what i remember of your original question, so forgive me if I
misspeak..): If you do not have access to the request object, do you at
least have access to the session? In which case how about putting the
user in a session variable (maybe right after logon) and then you should
be able to get his/her userId etc etc wherever you want it from..? I
know there has been **extensive** discussion in this list re. the pros
and cons of using session variables and if you are of the
all-session-vars-are-bad school of thought, this won't do you any good.
But personally, this seems to be a situation where a session variable
would come in handy..
If however this idea wn't work in your situation, you may want to
discuss with your clients their absolute requirement about wanting a
link vs. a button (I believe you indicated earlier that the latter case
will pose no prblems for you..?)
Good luck!
