Tynamo: Store additional user data during authentication

[Jens Reufsteck <je...@staufenbiel.de>]

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, though I couldn’t find anything
about it.

 

I’ve just started to use Tapestry security instead of our own light weigth
authentication system. Works fine so far – thanks to the developers!

 

Now, I want to display the real name for logged in users. It’s not the same
as their login or username, so I can’t get it with
securityService.getSubject().getPrincipal().

 

I’d expect to store it in the session – and I’m wondering, how to accomplish
this during authentication.

 

As recommended, I’m contributing an implementation of a realm. Probably, I
could inject the Session into the realm, store the user name into the
session and hope, that getSubject().getSession() will afterwards retrieve
exactly this session. Isn’t there a more elegant solution?

 

We’re using Tapestry 5.1.0.5 with Tapestry security 0.2.2.

 

Many thanks

Jens
