Question

The question I am asking is probably a very simple one.
I want to display user details once the login is successfull.

My loginController

  public LoginController() {
}

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

public String getUsername() {
    return username;
}

public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
}

public String isValidUser() {
    String isValid="Invalid user";
    EntityManager em = null;
    try {
        em = getEntityManager();
        Query query = em.createNamedQuery("ClientDetails.findByClientId");
        query.setParameter("clientId", username);
        //hashPassword(password);
        ClientDetails record = (ClientDetails) query.getSingleResult();
        System.out.print(record);
        String passwordHash=hashPassword(password);
        if (record.getPassword().equals(passwordHash)) {
             System.out.print("Valid user");
            isValid = "valid";
        } else {
            System.out.print("InValid user");
            isValid="invalid";
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        em.close();
    }
    System.out.println("Login status = " + isValid);
    return isValid;
}

private EntityManager getEntityManager() {
    return emf.createEntityManager();
}

public String hashPassword(String password) {
    String protectedPassword = null;
    try {
        System.out.println("password entered....." + password);
        MessageDigest md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
        md5.update(password.getBytes());
        BigInteger hash = new BigInteger(1, md5.digest());
        protectedPassword = hash.toString(16);
        System.out.println("password hashed....." + protectedPassword);
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return protectedPassword;
}

I have EditController managed bean class

        Query websiteDetails = em.createQuery("ClientWebsiteDetails.findByClientAccountId");
        List customerList = customerDetails.getResultList();
        List websiteList = websiteDetails.getResultList();
        Iterator clientIt = customerList.iterator();

    System.out.print(utx.getStatus());
    utx.commit();

Both are Managed beans and are in session scope. The app is Java EE 5.

I need the username entered by user in my editController. I figure I am using the ManageProperty wrong. Can you guys point out how do I use the ManageProperty so I can get the value if username set to my email field in my ClientDetails POJO.

Answer 1

You need to put an EL-Expression into the ManagedProperty:

@ManagedProperty(value="#{loginController}")

Make sure that the name is right. And that the LoginController has the right annotations.
