[SOLVED] Getting at Zimbra Data from JSP

[Chewie71]

So when some action is performed on my Zimlet (e.g. user right clicks on the icon), I want the JSP to be able to get at the users username, or email address, or some other attribute....and then return some data to the Zimlet based on who they are.

So how does one get at that Zimbra data from a JSP?

I've tried to use the SalesForce Zimlet as an example and have added some of it to my JSP app...

  
<%@ page language="java" import="com.sun.jndi.ldap.*, java.io.*, java.util.*, javax.naming.*, javax.naming.dir
ectory.*"%>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.account.Provisioning" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.account.Account" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.account.AuthToken" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.Mailbox" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.index.MailboxIndex" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.account.AuthTokenException" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.service.ServiceException" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.index.queryparser.ParseException" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.index.ZimbraQueryResults" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.index.ZimbraHit" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.index.MessageHit" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Collection" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Iterator" %>
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.mailbox.Appointment" %>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Calendar" %>

....OTHER CODE IN HERE.....

    Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
    String authTokenString = "";
    for (Cookie cooky : cookies) {
        if (cooky.getName().equals("ZM_AUTH_TOKEN")) {
            authTokenString = cooky.getValue();
        }
    }

    try {
        AuthToken authToken = AuthToken.getAuthToken(authTokenString);
        Account acct = Provisioning.getInstance().getAccountById(authToken.getAccountId());
        Mailbox mbox = Mailbox.getMailboxByAccount(acct);
                output.println("<br/><br/>" + acct + " " + mbox);
        } catch (AuthTokenException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ServiceException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

But I get errors like such....

HTTP ERROR: 500

Any ideas?

I was having the same problem yesterday, I discovered that you also have to include
<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.account.Provisioning.Account By" %>

and to get the account attributes I used this:
Account acct = Provisioning.getInstance().get(AccountBy.id, authToken.getAccountId());

[Chewie71]

Awesome...thanks...now I get the big list with all attributes and values.

So how do I pull specific attribute values out of 'acct object'? I tried acct.ATTRID, but that gave me an error. Specifically I need to grab the account UID.

Thanks,
Matt

[Chewie71]

Found it...'acct.getUid()'...so this is the code. If someone thinks there is a better way to do this, let me know.

Thanks,
Matt

        }
    }
	AuthToken authToken = AuthToken.getAuthToken(authTokenString);
  Account acct = Provisioning.getInstance().get(AccountBy.id, authToken.getAccountId());

  output.println("<br/><br/>"+acct.getUid());
