Get current portal role that the application running underneath

[Former Member]

My application is available from numerous portal roles. The application needs to know at runtime, which role the user is currently positioned on.

I tried this coding:

<b>NavigationEventsHelperService navHelperService = (NavigationEventsHelperService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(NavigationEventsHelperService.KEY);

String launchNode = navHelperService.getCurrentLaunchNavNode(request).getName();</b>

but on runtime I got this exception:

<b>java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sapportals/portal/navigation/NavigationEventsHelperService</b>

I think I should indicate on portalapp.xml on SharingReference, the jar name.

But unfortunately I don't know what is name.

Please your help.

Maya.

Hi,

If your development is webdynpro, give the sharing reference as

PORTAL:com.sap.portal.navigation.helperservice

If you want the jar, its in this location on the server:

/usr/sap/<SID>/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.navigation.helperservice/lib

and the jar is com.sap.portal.navigation.helperservice_api.jar.

Thanks,

Hi Rajit,

I also want to get current role that the application running in WEBDYNPRO.

I am using the same thing:

*NavigationEventsHelperService navHelperService = (NavigationEventsHelperService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(NavigationEventsHelperService.KEY);*

*String launchNode = navHelperService.getCurrentLaunchNavNode(request).getName();*

but getting error for request object and Portalruntime class object.These both are undefined.

Please suggest me how can I resolve this problem.

Thanks

Hi Arun,

I also have the same requirement. Have you got the solution? BTW, the Request object thing you mentioned is not applicable in WebDynpro. In WebDynpro, something else needs to be done.

Guys, please help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try this code

IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser userID = user.getSAPUser();

String Userrole=new String();

for (Iterator iter = userID.getRoles(true); iter.hasNext();) {

IRole role = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole((String) iter.next());

Userrole=role.getUniqueName();

}

if(Userrole.equalsIgnoreCase("Administrator"))

// TO DO

Hi Suresh,

I know already 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.

Thanks,

Maya.

You can access to this information from ABAP side of your NetWeaver system.

Hi Roberto,

I develop on Java WAS, so ABAP not relevant.

Any body else have any suggestion?

Thanks ahead,
