Method Detail

### getAuthenticatedUserId

    public static String getAuthenticatedUserId(HttpServletRequest req)

  Get the logged in user's id from the request.

  This checks for the user principal on the request.

  Parameters:
    `req` - the servlet request.
  Returns:
    the user id, null if not authenticated.

### getFireLoginEvent

    public static boolean getFireLoginEvent(HttpSession session)

### getProfile

    public static ProfileWrapper getProfile(HttpServletRequest req)

  Get the current profile from either the session or the request. Looks in the session first, then the request.

### getProfile

    public static ProfileWrapper getProfile(HttpServletRequest req,
                                            boolean createNew)

  Look for a profile in the request, with the option to create a new Session if there is not a current one in the Request object.

### getProfile

    public static ProfileWrapper getProfile(HttpSession session)

  Get the current profile from the session

### getUserId

    public static String getUserId(HttpServletRequest req)

  Get the (not neccessarily logged in) user's id from the request.

  This will check the username of a profile in the request/session first (this will handle tracked anonymous users). If there's no profile or it's fully anonymous, this will check the authenticated user id.

  Parameters:
    `req` - the servlet request.
  Returns:
    the user id, null if cannot be determined.

### postCreateUser

    public static void postCreateUser(HttpServletRequest request,
                                      String username,
                                      String password,
                                      boolean saveAnonymous,
                                      boolean fireEvent,
                                      boolean login)
                               throws LoginException

  Actions to be performed upon user creation (self-registration style). This will authenticate the new user in the request, update the user profile in the session as needed, fire a SessionLoginEvent, then fire a UserRegistrationEvent.

  NOTE that this method always removes the original profile and replaces it with a new one representing the new user, regardless of whether they logged in. That new profile is ProfileType.REGISTERED.

  Throws:
    `LoginException`

### postLogin

    public static void postLogin(HttpServletRequest request)

  Option to fire SessionLoginEvent

### putProfileInRequest

    public static void putProfileInRequest(HttpServletRequest req,
                                           ProfileWrapper profile)

  Put a profile in the request.

### putProfileInSession

    public static void putProfileInSession(HttpServletRequest req,
                                           ProfileWrapper profile)

    public static void putProfileInSession(HttpSession session,

    public static void setFireLoginEvent(ServletContext sc,
                                         boolean doFire)

  Look in web.xml to see if we're going to fire SessionLoginEvents upon user login. Specified as follows: `PortalServletFilter com.bea.p13n.servlets.PortalServletFilter fireSessionLoginEvent false Option to fire SessionLoginEvent , defaults to true if not set`
