Re: Get JahiaDBUser on Portlets

Hi,

There are 2 types of portlets supported by Jahia: jahiaWebapps (only for 
Jahia 4 and 5)and portletJSR168 (only jahia 5 and JSR168 portal). It's 
better and recommended to develop a portlet JSR168.

You find the specification here:
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=168

A portlet JSR168 can't access to user's password. It's not the job of 
the portlet to deal with sign on.

 User's login is retrieve like that:
java.util.Principal p = request.getUserPrincipal();
or
String login = request.getRemoteUser().

It's NOT possible to access  Jahia objects or classes. So JahiaDBUser 
has no meaning to a portlet.
