Problem finding current user using Togglz module

[Erik de Hair <e....@pocos.nl>]

Hi,

I was trying to configure a Togglz feature with 
UserRoleActivationStrategy but while determining the state of the 
Feature an exception is thrown at [1]. I configured the module as 
described in the documentation. The application is running on Jetty.

Did anybody have similar problems or does anyone have experience using 
different strategies?

Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,

We don't use this ourselves, and I must admit only having a vague
recollection of this.

It looks like the HttpServletRequestHolder class you are calling is just
togglz code, rather than anything in the isisaddons togglz integration.

A quick search through the togglz docs led me to [1], from which it seems
that something somewhere needs to call bind() on this class [2], to set the
user on a thread-local.  Perhaps using HttpServletRequestHolderListener [3]
?

If you get something working, perhaps you could submit a PR to the docs to
make this clearer?

Thanks
Dan
