Hi Conor,
After you've logged on with Spring Security the username is available through
the Servlet API:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getRemoteUser()
You wouldn't normally display the login name to the user, but rather lookup the user account and
display the firstname.
public class MyPage extends BorderPage {
public void onInit() {
String loginName = getContext().getRemoteUser();
Customer customer = getCustomerDao().getCustomerByLoginName(loginName);
addModel("name", customer.getFirstName());
}
}
mypage.htm
Welcome $name
Hope this helps.
kind regards
bob

Hello -
I am having difficulty with getting a username's value after I authenticate with
Spring Security and am forwarded to a success page, (showWelcome.htm below).
Basically, all I am trying to do with a small prototype program is enter a user and
password which is authenticated by Spring and then forwards the authenticated user to
a Welcome page that says 'Welcome<username>'. However, the value of username is
always NULL when I debug it.
I know my configuration is somewhat working because I get only get forwarded to
the Welcome page if i enter the correct id and password (which is stored in a
mySQL database and the ORM structure is using Cayenne). However, once I enter
the correct username and password, I loose the ability to read the username
when I am forward to the Welcome page.
I have used the Spring Security Login example on
http://www.avoka.com/click-examples/home.htm as the basis for my prototype
project.
Unfortunately, however the login page doesn't really forward you anywhere. I
cannot find any information in the Apache Click User Guide either...
Here is my Spring Security set up. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can
maintain the session state when I enter the user name and password, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Conor
