What's the right way to get the current user from the execution context within a Java component?
Taking the example from the guide (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents) I thought it would be something like the following, which won't compile for me due to the getLocalUser symbol not being found. import org.xwiki.context.Execution; import org.xwiki.context.ExecutionContext; ... @Inject private Execution execution; @Override public String sayHello() { ExecutionContext context = execution.getContext(); String user = context.getLocalUser(); return "Hello " + user; } I note that in http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/archive/org/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-oldcore/6.3/xwiki-platform-oldcore-6.3-javadoc.jar/!/com/xpn/xwiki/XWikiContext.html#getLocalUser%28%29 the getLocalUser() method is deprecated in lieu of getUserReference() but I'd really rather deal with a String if at all possible. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
