Newbie Question

[gstewart]

Hi All,

I'm just getting my feet wet developing in Java, and I've became fond of roo and the Spring Framework to help me along.

I know this is a novice question for most any programmer, (as I am novice I suppose any question is lol)

I have an entity I created named ~.domain.SalesOrder

This entity is the primary container for my, as you may have guessed, Sales Orders.

Within this entity I have a field named salesTechnician.

I need this salesTechnican field to be automatically filled in according to the username (right now I just do it as a drop drown many to one using the field reference --type ~.domain.SalesTechnican type.)

additionally I want to only allow that particular Sales Technician to see the records linked to his username.

So this all ties in to Spring Security some how, and I haven't really been clear on how to do that. I'm just learning all this stuff.

Doesn't sound like something that's all that hard to do, I just don't know how to even search for how to do it.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm guessing this is part of it.

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getName();

I don't even know what forum to ask this in. Spring Security, or where.

So auto fill a field with the currently logged in user, and allow that user only to see the records that he submitted.
But of course allow the Office Staff to see all orders.
