RE: User Management - advice needed.

[Jeffrey Porter]

For all of you who might care.

Here is the path I've taken.

Faces-config.xml...

<managed-bean>
        <description></description>
        <managed-bean-name>UserController</managed-bean-name>
        
<managed-bean-class>org.me.TaskListController</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>        
  </managed-bean>


JSP...

<h:outputText value="#{ UserController.user.firstName}" />


Java Code...

TaskListController.java

    public User getUser() {
        User user = new User();
        user.setFirstName("ERROR-LOAD FAILED");
        try {
            user =
UserManagementDelegate.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return user;
    }

UserManagerEJBBean.java

/**
* @ejb.interface-method
*/    
public User getCurrentUser() throws Exception {
  String currentUserName =
sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName();
  User user =
SpecialBackEndSystemToOldMainFrame.getUser(currentUserName);
  Return user;
}       

User.java

Simple bean holding firstName & surname.

Not sure if it's the best way. But it works.

Jeff.

You can do

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal(
)

in every bean, also at first page.
