Get Connection Object

[abhijith_p]

Hi,

How do I get a Connection of a specific user if I have userConnectionsRepository reference?

Note: May be a dumb question but I am not able to figure it out using docs.

Thanks,
Abhijith

You first have to get the ConnectionRepository for the user, then use it to find the connection:

ConnectionRepository connRepo = userConnectionsRepository.createConnectionRepository(userId);
Connection<Facebook> fbConn = connRepo.getPrimaryConnection(Facebook.class); // or whatever provider you're wanting a connection for

Of course, that's the explicit coding if all you have is the UsersConnectionRepository. You'll may also have a request-scoped ConnectionRepository bean in your application context. If so, then from that you can call getPrimaryConnection(), findConnections(), or a number of other methods that will give you what you need.

Thanks Craig, that worked.
