Hi.

How can i get current WTUser by java code?

I tried

WTPrincipal currentUser = SessionHelper.manager.getPrincipal();

and

MethodContext methodcontext = MethodContext.getContext();

methodcontext.mbean.getUserName();

Both of them don't work. They return "wcadmin" always.

Thanks.

When you launch a jsp page, you can use the following

<%

String username = wt.session.SessionHelper.getPrincipal().getName();

%>

Where is your code started from? Could it be that the code is running with administrator access?

    Hi, Björn.

    I tried your code and it gave me correct result.

    I'm loading applet from jsp.

    Then i create wtpart from applet via wt.method.RemoteAccess.

    The creator of my wtpart is defined as Administrator. How can i set the real creator?

    Thanks.

    What shows the output if you call the method

    RemoteMethodServer.getUserName()

    and you aren't calling something like

    SessionHelper.manager.setAdministrator();
