Hello,

I have a basic question on how to access the logged in user for later use in updates. After authenticating a user I enter him into the session, but when I later try to retrieve this user in another page, it fails(returns null).

So in my main page I record the user as follows:

if (_password.equals(password)) { EOEnterpriseObject user = EOUtilities.objectMatchingKeyAndValue(session().defaultEditingContext(), "User", "name", username); // set the session.user session().takeValueForKey(user, "user");

And on another page to add a new transaction which needs the user relation attribute(as a foreign key):

EOEnterpriseObject user = (EOEnterpriseObject) valueForKeyPath("session.user"); // user evals to null???
purchase.addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey(user, "user");

The save fails because user is a required attribute. And I'm not sure if I am not properly storing the user in the session, or not properly retrieving the user from the session.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong or suggest another approach?

TIA
