protected void initPerson(String principalName)

Loads the Person object from KIM. Factored out for testability.

Parameters:

principalName - the principalName

public String getPrincipalId()

Returns the id of the current user.

Returns:

the principalId of the current user in the system, backdoor principalId if backdoor is set

getPrincipalName

public String getPrincipalName()

Returns:

the KualiUser which is the current user in the system

setBackdoorUser

public void setBackdoorUser(String principalName)

override the current user in the system by setting the backdoor networkId, which is useful when dealing with routing or other reasons why you would need to assume an identity in the system

Parameters:

clearBackdoorUser

public void clearBackdoorUser()

clear the backdoor user

addObjectWithGeneratedKey

public String addObjectWithGeneratedKey(Serializable object,
                                        String keyPrefix)

allows adding an arbitrary object to the session and returns a string key that can be used to later access this object from the session using the retrieveObject method in this class. This allows for a prefix to be placed in front of the incremented key. So if the prefix is "searchResults" and the nextObjectKey (local int that holds the key value) is 2 then the new key will be "searchResults3". "searchResults3" will be returned from the method.

Parameters:

object -

addObjectWithGeneratedKey

public String addObjectWithGeneratedKey(Object object)

allows adding an arbitrary object to the session and returns a string key that can be used to later access this object from the session using the retrieveObject method in this class. The key is generated from an integer and incremented for every object added. So the first object added with have a key of "1". This key will be returned from the method.
