FYI this issue has now been resolved. Might have been a couple of things, but most likely a configuration mix-up on TomCat - worked well after tomcat was restarted.

Hi all (but in particular James Liao or anyone who has implemented the UserManager interface!) I am trying to change two user attributes when a user logs in my portletclass. I have followed the instructions for configuring the js:services pretty closely and am still getting UserManager returned as 'null'. I have tried to work out what the tricks might be on this one, but to no avail. Here's some of the things I have done, but which haven't seemed to make a jot of difference: 1: added jetspeed-portlet.xml to the portlet project. Code below: ------------------- <portlet-app id="custLoginPortlet" version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_1_0.xsd"; xmlns:js="http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed"; xmlns:dc="http://www.purl.org/dc";> <dc:title>Custom Security Portlets</dc:title> <dc:title xml:lang="en">Custom Security Portlets</dc:title> <dc:creator>J2 Team</dc:creator> <portlet> <portlet-name>CustLoginPortlet</portlet-name> <dc:title>Custom Login Portlet</dc:title> <dc:creator>James Dixon</dc:creator> </portlet> <js:services> <js:service name='UserManager'/> </js:services> </portlet-app> --------------- 2) ensured that the portlet-app id in jetspeed-portlet.xml is the same as the portlet id in portlet.xml. 3) Try and access the user manager with the following code: ---------------------------- User user = null; UserManager userManager = (UserManager) getPortletContext().getAttribute("cps:UserManager"); if(userManager!=null) { writer.write("<Br>USerManager is not null :-)"); } else { writer.write("<Br>USerManager is null :-<"); } try { user = userManager.getUser(userName); } catch (Exception e) { // TODO: logging writer.write("<br>user not found: " + userName + ", " + e); } return user; --------------------------- 4) Aligned the displaynames in the web.xml and jetspeed-portlet.xml I also checked what the getPortletContext.getAttributenames were - cps:UserManager was not among them. Element 1 org.apache.catalina.jsp_classpath Element 2 javax.servlet.context.tempdir Element 3 org.apache.catalina.resources Element 4 org.apache.catalina.WELCOME_FILES Grateful for any help that anyone might have on this, as I have now hit a brick wall and am fresh out of ideas!!
