Session Information
I am new to JetSpeed and am wondering what if any information is available in session
variables? And if none could the logon process be a good place to put a value into the
session (like the userID)?
Thanks from a Newb

How to retain session data while logging in to Jetspeed 1.4?
Posted by Santhosh Nair <na...@mayur.znetsystems.com>.
Hi,
I have a shopping cart type application developed in Jetspeed 1.4. When any
user accesses the page for the first time, user-id anon is assumed in
Jetspeed. In my application, the user adds items to his shopping cart and
chooses to check out. My application requests to login and register before
checkout.
Jetspeed portal looses all the session details during a user login. This
also cleares the session contents of my shopping application - requiring the
user to repeat the shoping process.
Is there any solution to this problem? Any help?
Thanks and Regards,
Santhosh Nair

So you can get to the User_id dynamically, you don't need any external
information right? So why do you want to then store it in the session? Just
for performance reasons? If that is the case, you could make some class
whose only job it is to fetch the User_id. This class would then first
attempt to fetch the User_Id from the session, and only if that failed, make
the database request. It would then store the result in the session for
later re-use, ensuring as little accesses to the database as possible.

What I am really trying to find is where I can sneak code like this in
so that it is impossible to NOT have my session variable set. I am
moving code over from another application that is keyed to a User_id
which I can get by querying for the User_id where it matches the
username from the JetSpeed taglib request for username. Then I can set a
session variable that holds the UID for the rest of my apps... I can't
seem hit on the correct place include this

Hi,
If you are asking for commands on how to put and get values from the
session
objects then this is what I am using.
User currentUser = rundata.getUser();
currentUser.setTemp("username", "xyz"); // to set values
string username = currentUser.getTemp("username") // to get values.
This excample uses the turbine user object as the session object. Don't
forget to import your
import org.apache.turbine.om.security.User;
Hope this is what you were looking for.

About your userID, this is probably the ID into some USER table you have in
the database right?
I would try to connect 'your' users to those of turbine. When you login,
Turbine 'activates' a certain user automatically and you can get to this
information in the portlet action. You could then relate this information to
your user tables using a simple link table in your database:
userID | userName
1 | admin
2 | turbine
3 | guest
This way, you store as little information in the session as possible and
you'll be able to combine information from your own user database (which
probably contains things like addresses, phone numbers and sales records) to
that of turbine (which contains information about the users permissions and
the last login date, for example).
