pb accessing user info in a view

[l_richy007]

Hi
I store info in the "SecurityContextHolder"
i need these info in my View
Does Anyone know how to retrieve user info in the view ?

I have

<bean id="securityAwareConfigurer" class="org.springframework.richclient.security.SecurityAwareConfigurer" lazy-init="false"/>

and

public class MyView extends AbstractView implements AuthenticationAware{
	
	private Authentication authentication;
	protected JComponent createControl() {

		.............
	}

	public void setAuthenticationToken(Authentication arg0) {
		this.authentication=arg0;
		
	}
	
}

When I open the view, setAuthentificationToken is never fired

In my timefinder application I do something like this:

public class TimeFinderMasterDetailView extends AbstractView {
    ...

    @Override
    protected JComponent createControl() {
        YourViewDescriptor descriptor = (YourViewDescriptor)getDescriptor();
        AnyObject obj = descriptor.getAnyProperty();
    }
...
}

this means for you that you have to extend the DefaultViewDescriptor (->AnyViewDescriptor) with your AuthenticationToken property.

Now you could either inject it explicitly:

<bean id="featureView" class="YourViewDescriptor">
        <property name="viewClass" value="de.timefinder.core.ui.form.TimeFinderMasterDetailView"/>
        <property name="anyObject" ref="authToken"/>
...
    </bean>

or implicitly with

@Autowired
public void setAuthToken...

Hope this helps a bit.

I fixed the pb
I can access values store in security using

SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthenticati on().getPrincipal();
