Unable to get Logged in userId in post login action using hook.

Junior Member Posts: 49 Join Date: 3/7/12 Recent Posts

I am using post login hook to redirect to my custom page on certain condition.
I have followed as same as example given in Liferay docs for hook.
except i am calling it as post login by adding following in portal.properties file.

login.events.post=com.sa.postlogin.ConditionCheckAction

& in action.
User user = ((ThemeDisplay) arg0.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY)).getUser();
long userId=user.getUserId();
(above line gives NullPointer Exception)

It calls my action but i unable to get current logged in user's userId in it.

How i can able to get it.??

Plz Help.

You can also use PrincipalThreadLocal.getName() .
Even though method sounds like it will return name but actually it will return userid in string format.

Thanks I did it by,

Long userId= Long.parseLong(arg0.getRemoteUser());

It works fine.

Thanks.

Hi Omkar,
As per my previous link, it could have been done by PortalUtil.getUser(req).getUserId();

Omkar,

You should use the solution which has been provided by Siby.
The one which you are using is not reliable solution.

In 7.1, rather implement a Lifecycle Action.
