Access OrganizationService

[cblumenro]

All,

within a portlet visible to not authenticated users I want to access the OrganizationService to get some user information. How do I retrieve the service when I'm not logged in? Somehow

OrganizationService orgService = (OrganizationService)PortalContainer.getInstance().getComponentInstanceOfType(OrganizationService.class);

seems not to work in this case.

Any thoughts?

.. for me this works:

          WebuiRequestContext context = WebuiRequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
          ExoContainer container = context.getApplication().getApplicationServiceContainer();
     

          OrganizationService orgService = (OrganizationService) container.getComponentInstanceOfType(OrganizationService.class);
         
          User user = null;
          try {
              user = orgService.getUserHandler().findUserByName("XYZ");
              ..

              ..

              } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
            }
          
   hope this helps
