Get current portal role that user selected

[Former Member]

My WebDynpro application is available from numerous portal roles/tabs. The WebDynpro application needs to know at runtime, which role the user is currently positioned on. I see many WebDynpro examples of how to retrieve ALL roles of a user. This technique is not what I need. Inside the WebDynpro application, I need to know which one, specific role that the user is positioned on in the portal when the application is invoked.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin

Thank you Maksim,

I will try this coding approach:

NavigationEventsHelperService navHelperService =

(NavigationEventsHelperService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(NavigationEventsHelperService.KEY);

INavigationNode navNode = navHelperService.getNavNodesListForPath(request, "NavUnderEntryPoint").get(0);

String title = navNode.getTitle(request.getLocale());

I'm having difficulty determining JARs needed for this. I've found all, except the JAR needed for INavigationNode.

In what JAR is INavigationNode?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

These are the jar files:.

com.sap.portal.navigation.serviceapi.jar

Go through /thread/54960 [original link is broken] forum post for the plugins you can install on NWDS or eclipse to locate jar files.

Hello Kevin,

I am also writing an application that will need to know which role it was clicked on. I am getting a runtime error "NoClassDefFound" exception. Can you tell me what you put in the sharing reference? Did you have to any references in the servicereference too?

Thanks

What is "request" in your code? How can I get it ?
