How to get the connected userid?

[mune72]

I wrote a zimlet, which calls file1.js which opens a new window with file2.jsp.

In file2.jsp I need to know the userID of the current user.

There are two ways:
1. a "magic" java command to write in file2.jsp
2. obtain the userID in file1.js and call file2.jsp?uid=<uid_not_known>

How can I do it? Thanks.

Put something like this in your .jsp

  String name = null;
  Provisioning prov = Provisioning.getInstance();
  javax.servlet.http.Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
  String authTokenString = "";
  Account acct = null;

  for (javax.servlet.http.Cookie cookie : cookies) {
     if (cookie.getName().equals("ZM_AUTH_TOKEN")) {
        authTokenString = cookie.getValue();
     }
  }

  if (!authTokenString.equals("")) {
     AuthToken authToken = AuthToken.getAuthToken(authTokenString);
     acct = prov.get(Provisioning.AccountBy.id, authToken.getAccountId());
  }

   if (acct != null) {
      name = acct.getName();
   }

Thanks for the reply.

I wrote the code but when the JSP page is opened I get:

Add this to the top of your .jsp:

<%@ page import="com.zimbra.cs.account.*, com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.*" %>

Now works perfectly!

Before marking the issue solved I would like to read those class specification, one day I could need to access to something else other than the username. Can you, kindly, give me a web page adress to read from? thanks

Use the instructions at http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit...using_Perforce to download the source, then look in ZimbraServer/src/java/com/zimbra/cs.

Yesterday afternoon I had the same thought. "Isn't it an open source project? So, download the source files and dig trought them."

But I waited for a reply as if web page lists alla the class' methods it would be easier to read.

Thanks for reply and the link.

PS
The function I was looking for was
public String getId()
in the package
package com.zimbra.cs.account;

[mune72]

I store the ID in a DB, sometime later I read that ID and I want to retrive the relative account properties: it seems to use

retAcct = <AccountCacheObject>.getById(my_uid);

Am I right? And how to get that kind of object?

I don't think you can get the AccountCache singleton directly; it's used internally. However, it looks like you can use the Provisioning singleton and the get() method:

Provisioning prov = Provisioning.getInstance();
Account retAcct = prov.get(AccountBy.id, my_uid);

Unfortunally it doesn't work (I get a java compilation error)
