How to pass UserID to the view object after authentication?

Question

Hi,
I am developing an application using Oracle JHeadstart 10.1.3 Version 10.1.3.0.83
I have a view where all clients' data are. But when a client logs in he/she should see only his/her data, he/she should not see other clients' data.
So after logging how I can pass his/her UserID to the view? We are planning to use the OID for authentication. So when the client logs in with his/her user id, I want to pass that user id to the view so that the view query will return only the records associated with that client.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Syed

Syed,
Although not fully documented yet in the Devguide, 10.1.3 still ships with basically the same security code that we had in 10.1.2. I suggest reading the security section in Chapter 5 of the 10.1.2. Devguide to get an idea of how that would work. Basically, it boils down to setting a JhsUser object on the session that you can access in the Model through the JhsApplicationModuleImpl.getUser() method.
Using the user in a whereclause could be done programmatically by altering the whereclause of a VO on the "executeQueryForCollection" method, but you could also use a bind variable and then bind it to the JhsUser object on the session through an EL expression like #{jhsUser.displayName}
Hope this helps,
