User attributes
I'm trying to get the user attributes, but the only way I can get it to work
is by going into the user management portlet and manually adding a value.
I've read the guide at
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/guides/guide-user-attributes.html and
added the jetspeed-portlet.xml to my app, but the attributes are still
null. There is a link on that page that is broken, it looks like it would
talk about jetspeed preferences, so I might be missing something. I'm just
trying to get the username of the current user. Here is my
jetspeed-portlet.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<portlet-app version="1.0"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd"
xmlns:js="http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed">
<js:user-attribute-ref>
<js:name>user-name</js:name>
<js:name-link>user.name</js:name-link>
</js:user-attribute-ref>
<js:user-attribute-ref>
<js:name>user-name-given</js:name>
<js:name-link>user.name.given</js:name-link>
</js:user-attribute-ref>
<js:user-attribute-ref>
<js:name>user-name-family</js:name>
<js:name-link>user.name.family</js:name-link>
</js:user-attribute-ref>
</portlet-app>
And I get the values with
Map map = (Map)request.getAttribute(PortletRequest.USER_INFO);
String username = (String)map.get("user.name");
What am I doing wrong?

The problem with using the UserManager, it is not JSR 168. The guide says
that I can use jetspeed-portlet.xml to map the jetspeed attributes to the
jsr 168 attributes, but it looks like the only way to get those attributes
is to use the user manager portlet to create them.

In jetspeed-portlet.xml did you use "? I've notice you have to use only ' to
delimit services name,
for example
<js:services>
<js:service name='ApplicationServerManager'/>
<js:service name='DeploymentManager'/>
<js:service name='EntityAccessor'/>
<js:service name='GroupManager'/>
<js:service name='PageManager'/>
<js:service name='PermissionManager'/>
<js:service name='PortalAdministration'/>
<js:service name='PortletFactory'/>
<js:service name='PortalAdministration'/>
<js:service name='PortletRegistryComponent'/>
<js:service name='PortalStatistics'/>
<js:service name='Profiler' />
<js:service name='RoleManager'/>
<js:service name='SearchComponent'/>
<js:service name='SSO' />
<js:service name='UserManager'/>
</js:services>
Then you can use UserManager to access user's data

I did receive the portlet, what I noticed is that you were looking up user
information based on an email request paramter. Looking at it a second
time, I still do not see where you call the getRemoteUser method, but I will
look more closely. Thanks!

Yes there is. Use the getRemoteUser() method of the PortletRequest object.
Did you not received the portlet that i sent you?

Spending more time with this and reading what you guys have said again,
there is no way to get the current user name. I've looked at the
UserManager interface, but this is only useful if you have a username to
begin with. So the only way to make the username available is to manually
set an attribute using the admin portlets?
If this is true, it seems like a draw-back in the implementation. It seems
like a common procedure to let users make their own accounts and have that
username availble to the applications running without administrator

Re: User attributes

I'm sorry, I guess I asked the same question again ;) What I really would
like to know is how I could automate the process of defining a user
attribute. What tables should I look at in the database, I would like to
automate the process outside of the portal.
Thanks,
Brice

Re: User attributes

What are the custom and portal-defined property names? Are the
portal-defined properties like the user.name.given and such defined in the
spec, or are those the custom properties? How can I use
jetspeed-portlet.xml to map the user's logon id to user.name or any other
property defined in the spec?

Re: User attributes
Posted by David Sean Taylor <da...@bluesunrise.com>.
You have to populate the user attributes on a per user basis.
The User Management portlet is one way to do this.
Another solution that we are working: an import program for user information
The jetspeed-portlet.xml is there for mapping custom property names to
portal-defined property names.
