Hello Community,
we've got a very simple requierement to show some information about
the logged in user in a header of a portal. For that simple feature i
would "outject" some attribute into the global session scope
of the logged in user and grasp it somewhere in an .ftl template e.g.:
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("MYATTR", attrvalue);
just in the near of the
session.setAttribute(CASWebKeys.CAS_LOGIN, login);
But this intuitive approach just won't work for MYATTR (despite it
nicely works for CAS_LOGIN). I already tried to prefix the attribute
with LIFERAY_SHARED_ but without effect. It worth mentioning that
the documentation of
session.shared.attributes
already warns about the impossibility:
Note that this property is used to specify the sharing of session attributes from the portal to the portlet. This is not used to specify session sharing between portlet WARs or from the portlet to the portal.
but what is the correct solution for such a simple requirement?
Thank you and regards, Gena
