How to use a Text View to show the current user

Question

Hi Experts,
I am using a Text View to show the current logged on user.
Also i need to retrieve the date of creation of proposal and show it as output parameter.
I am using the following code but it is not working properly.
Please help me out regarding the same.
Method technicalDescription()
//Attribute User to store user name
IGPAttributeInfo user = output.addAttribute("USER", IGPAttributeInfo.BASE_STRING);
            user.setMultiplicity(IGPAttributeInfo.MULITIPLICITY_1_1);
//Attribute date to store current system date           
IGPAttributeInfo date = output.addAttribute("DATE", IGPAttributeInfo.BASE_DATE);
            date.setMultiplicity(IGPAttributeInfo.MULITIPLICITY_1_1);
Method execute()
//getting current system date
Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
          contextElement.setDate(currDate);
//Retrieve Current User Details
try {
IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
String firstName = user.getFirstName();
String lastName = user.getLastName();          
String userName = lastName + " " + firstName;
contextElement.setUserName(userName);
} catch (WDUMException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
Method complete()
output.setAttributeValue("USER", wdContext.currentContextElement().getUserName());
output.setAttributeValue("Date", wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate());
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

There are a few ways, for example declare an IBOutlet for the text field and then use it with NSControl's stringValue: method (inherited by the NSTextField), or bind the value of the text field to a property, etc.  What have you got so far?
