retrieve jetspeed session from servlet
Hi,
I have an applet in a velocity portlet that needs
to talk back to a servlet for additional processing. When
the applet does a HttpURLConnection to the servlet, the
servlet somehow seems to pickup the correct session (tomcat
version 4.1). I.e. The session id got by
"$data.getSession().getId()" in the velocity template is
the same as "request.getSession().getId()" in the servlet.
Please correct me if I am wrong here.
My problem is, I am unable to retrieve the JetspeedUser
in the servlet.
The following code in the servlet returns null for
JetspeedUser :
HttpSession session=request.getSession();
System.out.println("\n SessionId="+session.getId());
RunData data = RunDataFactory.getRunData(request,
response,
getServletConfig());
JetspeedUser user =
((JetspeedRunData)data).getJetspeedUser();
// user is null
Is there another way to retrieve JetspeedUser ? Thanks in
advance for any possible help.
Anand

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am new to jetspeed. From the turbine
javadocs,
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/apidocs/org/apache/turbine/util/RunDataFactory.html,
I got the impression that RunDataFactory (now deprecated) mimics turbine
and creates RunData initialized with all session information (I am
passing the request object as a parameter!).

Stuart's suggestion: using 'session.getAttribute("turbine.user")'
worked. Thanks.

How are you going to get RunData from a non-Turbine servlet.
Think about it. That makes absolutely no sense.
RunData is created by Turbine for each request invocation and is only
valid for the duration of that request.

If you want to get the current logged on user, go to the session.
