[ravindrareddy]

can i get the "username" from databse to use in my portlet.

in one of my requirements i want to use "username".

for example incase if i want to display welcome "username" in one of my portlet.
how to get the "username" from user profile in database depends upon the user who logged in?

or incase if i want to display some content from user profile, how to retrive the profile info depend upon the user who logged in.

Hi,

I want to do the same thing. I found sth in the wiki. Maybe it's helpful to you too.

thank you very much. i am able to get the user name of the logged person in this manner.

incase if we are able to do the same from the database where the details get stored, then we can get alot of information. we can get user profile and lot many things. is there any way to retrieve data from database.

Depends on which version you are using. In 2.4 you can obtain a User object from UserModule and ivestigate it's properties. In 2.6 you can use UserProfileModule
