Hi,

The only way I could figure out how to get it was to import the com.sap.security.api.

1. From Window>Preferences>Java-->Classpath Variables, set up a variable called WEBAS_HOME pointing to:

<drive>/usr/sap/<SID>/jc00/j2ee/cluster/server0/

2. Right click on properties of your Dynpro Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries and click "Add Variable."

3. Select WEBAS_HOME and click "Extend"

4. Select /bin/ext/com.sap.api.sda/com.sap.security.api.jar and click OK.

If you don't have access to a portal directory, you will have to get this jar file and copy it to your workspace to add to your build path instead of the above steps.

Then in your code:

import com.sap.security.api.IUser;
import com.sap.security.api.IUserAccount;


  public void GetLogonID( )
  {
	String LogonID;

	try {

		/*	create an user object from the current user */
		IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

		IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();

		if (user != null) {
			IUserAccount acct = user.getUserAccounts()[0];
			if (acct != null) {
				LogonID = acct.getLogonUid();
			} else
				LogonID = "acct null";
		} else {
			LogonID = "user null";
		}

		wdContext.currentContextElement().setDisplayName(user.getFirstName() + " " + user.getLastName());
		wdContext.currentContextElement().setLogonID(LogonID.toUpperCase());
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
  }

Hope this helps... I had to search several places before I found all the necessary stuff. Maybe I can get my first points!

Hi Deyang,

u can use WDClientUser utility for this. Try the following code

try{

IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

String fName = user.getFirstName();

String lName = user.getLastName();

}catch(Exception e){

}

Hope it helps!!!

You could also try the following for the LoginID. If all you need is the first and last name and not the users LoginID, you don't need the com.sap.security.api.jar file.

Also, make sure you check the "Authenticate" checkbox when creating your Dynpro application.

public void GetLogonID( )
{
	/*@@begin GetLogonID()*/
	String LogonID;

	try {

		/* create an user object from the current user */
		IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
		IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
		LogonID = user.getUniqueName();
 
		wdContext.currentContextElement().setDisplayName(user.getFirstName() + " " + user.getLastName());
		wdContext.currentContextElement().setLogonID(LogonID.toUpperCase());
	} catch (Exception e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
   /*@@end*/
}
