Custom Portal iView (Retrieve user; Append text to URL; Redirect to URL)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I wish to create a custom Portal iView. I wish to fulfill the following requirements using this iView:

1) I wish to retrieve the Portal User ID of the user who is currently login in Portal. (Will the IUser class solve the purpose? I know IUser is used in Web Dynpro application.)

2) I wish to append this User ID to another URL (a URL of some other non-SAP application). The URL is something like this:

http://<ABC>/user=

3) Both the above tasks have to be performed in the same iView. And then the iView should automatically be redirected to the new URL (generated in step 2).

I wish to do this without using Web Dynpro. Can someone please help me for this requirement? I would appreciate even if someone knows the solution to only one of the three steps above, and replies to my question.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

as far as i know...you wouldnt be able to do that without coding...so either use webdynpro or jsp or develop a portal component which enables the same.

Hi GLM,

You need not just think, you can be sure of this that it cannot be done without coding

I never said I want to do this without coding. Infact that is what I am looking for. By the way, I am developing a portal component for this.

Thanks for the reply.

GLM,

Sorry, my mistake.

I have been able to achieve step 3 using this thread:

Can someone help me for step 1:

1) I wish to retrieve the Portal User ID of the user who is currently login in Portal. I need to do this in an AbstractPortalComponent.
