Using Jetspeed CommonPortletServices

Hi All

I am using Jetspeed 2.1-Dev, and I am trying to access the User Manager like
this:

        userManager = (UserManager) getPortletContext().getAttribute(
                CommonPortletServices.CPS_USER_MANAGER_COMPONENT);

I always get a null value for the userManager, so is this how I am supposed
to access this component ?

Any advise is greatly appreciated,


Thanks

Pat McCabe

Not much Im afraid
The user attributes part of the jetspeed-portlet.xml is documented here:

http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/guides/guide-user-attributes.html

We allow for extended metadata to attribute portlets and portlet 
applications. This  metadata conforms to the "Dublin Core" DCMI format:

http://dublincore.org/

If you go into the Portlet Application Manager, you can edit DC metadata 
for a portlet or portlet application under the "Metadata" tab

I did not know about the jetspeed-portlet.xml.  Is there any documentation
on this ?
I see that in the j2-admin example that you also list 2 portlets as well.
What is the benefit of doing this?

Thanks

Do you have a jetspeed-portlet.xml ?

	<js:services>
            <js:service name='UserManager'/>
	</js:services>
