Displaying Session Owner Attributes on Tabbed User Form

Question

How i can get an attribute from a session's owner inside the form?
For example, I want to display the email address of the admin who logged in and I want to display this on the Tabbed User Form.
I know, that :display.session is a session descriptor, but I can't work out how to display anything other than account ID.
Thanks in advance,
Darren.

Have a look at the javadocs for the com.waveset.ui.FormUtil class. There's some methods in there for getting user information from the repository based on the context you've got and the user ID you provide.
Something like this might work for you:
<invoke name="getObject" class="com.waveset.ui.FormUtil">
    <select>
      <ref>context</ref>
      <ref>:display.session</ref>
      <invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
          <ref>WF_CONTEXT</ref>
      </invoke>
    </select>
    <s>User</s>
    <ref>your accountid</ref>
</invoke>That will get you back the user from the repository as a WSUser object. You should be able to extract the email attribute using the WSUser object's getAttribute method. If you need to construct a full view then there's more work to be done but that should get you the email address. (Assuming of course that you're saving it in the IDM repository.)
