How to save the login ID as a session attribute ?

I am using form-based authentication in a web application which is being deployed on a JBoss 3.2.3 server. I am authenticating against an Oracle database by way of a DatabaseServerLoginModule (JAAS).
I would like to save the user's login ID as a session attribute in order to be able to use it later in the application.
It's not obvious how you can capture this information and add it to the session, since it seems that the login ID is lost once the authentication is done by j_security_check process.
Is there some way to tell the servlet container to save the login ID as a session attribute as part of the j_security_check process (something along the lines of "if the authentication succeeds add the login ID as an attribute to the session") ?
Is there another approach ? What is the accepted "best practice" for doing session initialization after authentication ? For example if a user needs to have several attributes set in their session after login -- how is this handled ? I have done this before with a login servlet which did both the authentication and the session initialization, but when using form-based authentication and j_security_check it's not clear to me how you go from the authentication to the initialization logic.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insight.

You should already have it... hidden in request.getUserPrincipal().getName()

  • How to get the system date as a session attribute?

    Hi all,
    How can i get the system time and date to a session?
    This is my code:
    String startDate=<How will i get (system date) here?>;
    session.setAttribute("startDate",startDate);
    String startTime=<How will i get (system time + 1hr) here?>;
    session.setAttribute("startTime",startTime);
    Thanks in advance,
    Lakshma

    This is one way:
            Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
            SimpleDateFormat sd1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
            System.out.println(sd1.format(cal.getTime()));
            SimpleDateFormat sd2 = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
            cal.add(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
            System.out.println(sd2.format(cal.getTime()));

  • I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

    I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

    Hi,
    If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
    You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
    This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
    send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
    If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
    format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
    Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • How to track the login time and logout times of clients

    hai
    please give me the solution
    suppose there are 5 systems connected in LAN.
    how to track the login time and logout times of clients
    for a given time(may be one day or 1 hour) using any programming language.
    please give me the solution

    When the client logs in you write the client's ID and the current time to a database. Likewise when the client logs out. Assuming of course that you have a program that knows when those events occur.

  • How to save the form data into adobe db?

    Hi All,
    How to save the form data into adobe db?
    I have designed one xdp file.
    Through processFormSubmission(), I got the submitted form data as Document obj.
    Then I have called the workflow kickoff program.
    code:
    InvocationRequest request = myFactory.createInvocationRequest ("myprocessname", //Specify the long-lived process name
    "invoke", //Specify the operation name
    params, //Specify input values (HashMap obj)
    false); //Create an asynchronous request
    It successfulyy started the workflow, but the submitted form data is not saved anywhere.
    And also, How get the form data from tables?
    Please provide the solution for the above.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Saravanan G

    You need to create a process variable of type IN if you want to be able to pass data to your process. Then the params parameter (HashMap) contains a list of all the IN variables with their content that you want to pass to your process. They key is the name of the variable and the value the content. That way you should get it in your process.
    Now LiveCycle will create a column in the database for every process variable, so the content will be saved in the database just by creating that process variable.

  • How to show the login user Id in the upper right corner of each page?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to show the login user Id in the upper right corner of each page?
    thanks so much!
    cchu

    Cchu,
    The easy question first: applying a style to the welcome message. If you look at the page source, you'll see that #WELCOME_USER# is expanded to <div class="app-user">Welcome: DEMO</div> So to change the style of the message, you need to tweak the style of the app-user div in your CSS, or override it in a style block in your HTML header.
    Now, the tougher question: why the text is wrapping for you. And, really, without seeing your entire page, I can't give a full answer. But I'd suggest that what's most likely happening is that the table column you're putting it in is too narrow, so it's wrapping; try replacing the td tag with <td nowrap="nowrap"> This will force the column to be wide enough to display the full message, but might result in weird formatting elsewhere on the page (depending on what all is in your table).

    Hi friends i am able to create a text editor in one of my screen but i want to know how to save the data when the text is entered in that text box and retrive when they open the screen?

    Hi ,
    Please check the format below since it is based on a working code
    first you need to create a text in s010 function module...
    there should be some key based on which you plan to save the text..imagine it is Purchase order then..PO+item numner is always unique.eg:0090010(900PO/item10).so in the code you can append these two and they will be unique..so you can always retrieve them,overwrite,save them anytime you need
    **************data declarations
    TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_EDITOR,
    EDIT(254) TYPE C,
    END OF TY_EDITOR.
    data: int_line type table of tline with header line.
    data: gw_thead like thead.
    data: int_table type standard table of ty_editor.
    ****************fill header..from SO10 t-code..when you save you need the unique key..youfill it here and pass it in save_text function module
    GW_THEAD-TDNAME = loc_nam. " unique key for the text -> our unique key to identify the text
    GW_THEAD-TDID = 'ST'. " Text ID from SO10
    GW_THEAD-TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU. "current language

    When in the document info window of a file there is a small triangle in the top right corner from this you have fly out menus to save/delete or show metadata templates. You can use this to save groups of metadata. Once you have a bunch of groups you can quickly use this to set your info. Bridge will also allow you to append or replace metadata from these saved templates too
