Javscript code to get logged in user

[TamasBiro]

Hi all,

is there a way to get the currently logged in user from javascript? I want to validate the promotion approvers table, so that the user didn't select himself. I added a new afterJS method to the workflowParticipantsStep where I can get the table with the principals but I have to get the the logged in user somehow.

Thx,

Tamás

I think +you can use getRemoteUser() and getUserPrincipal() methods of HttpServletRequest object or else

wt.org.WTUser loggedInUser = (wt.org.WTUser)wt.session.SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal();

Hi Tamas,

One of the other ways is to do this from Java code using custom delegate, the OOTB delegate is marked supported for customization.

Change the highlighted  in Windchill\codebase\config\actions\PromotionRequest-actions.xml  (I will prefer to do this in custom*Action file, refer guide for more details.)

<action name="workflowParticipantsStep" required="false" preloadWizardPage="false">

        <description>Promote wizard promotion objects step</description>

        <command class="ext.CustomPromotionParticipantsFormDelegate" windowType="wizard_step"/>

      </action>

e.g.

public class CustomPromotionParticipantsFormDelegate  extends PromotionParticipantsFormDelegate  {


  @Override
  public FormResult preProcess(NmCommandBean commandBean, List<ObjectBean> objectBeans)
  throws WTException {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  //getParticipantsToProcess(arg0)
  for (ObjectBean objectBean : objectBeans) {
  Object object = objectBean.getObject();
  if (object instanceof LifeCycleManaged) {
  HashMap mapp= (HashMap) getParticipantsToProcess(objectBean);
  Iterator it = mapp.entrySet().iterator();
  while (it.hasNext()) {
  Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
  Iterator iter = ((Set)pair.getValue()).iterator();
  while (iter.hasNext()) {
  WTUser principal=(WTUser) iter.next();
  WTUser Sessionuser= (WTUser) SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal();
  //System.out.println(principal+"--"+Sessionuser);
  /*
  * Note pair.getKey() will give you the role, you can execute the following only for a particular role
  *
  */
  if (principal.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(Sessionuser.getName())) {
  FormResult result;
  FeedbackMessage errors= new FeedbackMessage();
  errors.addMessage("You cannot select yourself as  "+ pair.getKey()+ " Please select any other user");
  result = new FormResult(FormProcessingStatus.FAILURE);
  result.addFeedbackMessage(errors);
  return result;
  }
  }
  }
  }
  }
  return super.preProcess(commandBean, objectBeans);
  }
}
