Rats, the thread broke, hence my other reply. Like everyone says, you
need to check the return value of getRemoteUser() - try looking at the
value of the hidden field in the HTML via IE's 'Show page source'.

In which case, why don't you get the user name using
request.getUserPrincipal().getName() ?

Hi, I think that we are in different time zones.
As you have mentioned, I, too, suspected that the
statement in my JSP:
request.getRemoteUser();
returns nothing. Therefore, I did a test in my JSP.
In addition to request.getRemoteUser(); I created
another String manually:
req:isUserInRole
Caroline,
In your FindEditorData.java class, is the value for
your username variable null or null? If it is null,
then you are reading the wrong request parameter since
request.getParameter() will return null if the
parameter doesn't exist. If the String value is
null, then you have a problem
I do not fully understand what you say about null or
null. Anyway, I did try to write out values in the
FindEditorData.java. What is written out in the
browser is:
name=null; kn=journal_category; kv=null
And the way I try to write out those crucial fields is
shown below:
// package and import
Caroline,
As a sanity check, in your bean, initialize the
username variable to something ie. XX. and
re-run your app. This will show if your setUsername is
ever called.

I followed your advice. In the Bean.java, I did the
following:
private String username = natalie;
public String getUsername() {
return this.username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
and I compiled all the relevant
I did another test. I took out those data access
activities in the FindEditorData.java and ran the
application. The conclusion is that those few lines
of data access activities have nothing to do with the
value of the 'username' becoming null in the
FindEditorData.java.

Caroline,
Are you having problems with the username or the keyName hidden variable? If
it is the username, then I'd suspect that request.getRemoteUser() in your
JSP is returning null.

I pass two hidden fields: username and keyName at the
same time. The keyName is passed and with the correct
value in it. The username is passed but its value
turns out to be a null.
It is impossible for request.getRemoteUser(); in my
JSP returning a null. (see code below) Before it

Imposible? Look at the HTML that is generated by the JSP page. I think you
will see that it returns null.
Take a look at the JavaDoc for HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser();
getRemoteUser
public java.lang.String getRemoteUser()
Returns the login of the user making this request, if the
I use container-managed authentication.

Caroline,
Did you check the result of getRemoteUser(). Does it return null or null?
If so, it's not a problem with your hidden form variables,.

Why are you passing the result of request.getRemoteUser() in a hidden
variable anyway since it is available as part of the HttpRequest and thus
will be available in the action class?

I must pass the result of request.getRemoteUser()
because it is a Java class that receives the

cannot use 'request' or 'session' in a Java class. It
