Thanks Marius,
yes I already found out about the .gwtrpc filter and this is working fine,
also I was already able to lookup other components, including the Execution
component, where, I just found out, I can
XWikiContext xwikicontext =
(XWikiContext)execution.getContext().getProperty("xwikicontext");
XWikiUser user = xwikicontext.getXWikiUser();
if ( user.getUser().equals("XWiki.Guest") ) {
//User is not authenticated
}
in fact I think I was before trying to access the old context as it would be
accessed by old plugins or something like that, I am slowly finding my way
in the new component structure. Thanks for your prompt answer!
Vito
P.S. great and smart integration for the gwt servlets! enough to declare
them as a normal component! Just strange to find the
XWikiRemoteServiceServlet in the wysiwig component.
