Hi,

There are 2 types of portlets supported by Jahia: jahiaWebapps (only for Jahia 4 and 5)and portletJSR168 (only jahia 5 and JSR168 portal). It's better and recommended to develop a portlet JSR168.

You find the specification here:
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168

A portlet JSR168 can't access to user's password. It's not the job of the portlet to deal with sign on.

User's login is retrieve like that:
java.util.Principal p = request.getUserPrincipal();
or
String login = request.getRemoteUser().

It's NOT possible to access Jahia objects or classes. So JahiaDBUser has no meaning to a portlet.


KT.

Hi all,


i'm a noobie with jahia (i'm using 5.0.1) and I'm trying to devep a portlet. Inside my portlet i need to get the username and password for user that is accessing to portlet.
If i log " request.getUserPrincipal().getClass()" i get an JahiaDBuser:

"class: org.jahia.services.usermanager.JahiaDBUser"

But if i do:

JahiaDBUser juser = (JahiaDBUser) request.getUserPrincipal();

i get an exception:

"- JetspeedContainerServlet: Error rendering portlet "MyPortletSystem::MyortletSystem": java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jahia.services.usermanager.JahiaDBUser
java.lang.ClassCastException : org.jahia.services.usermanager.JahiaDBUser"

Can you help me?

Regards on advanced,
