How can i get the user home path?

[camillo]

Hi all,

I'm a very newbie about the development as reguard as application Alfresco-based.
In particular, in this period, i must develop (using J2ee) a web client for Alfresco.
Because each Alfresco user has an home space, how can i get the path of a specific user home?
Can you advice me classes and methods I must use for my purpose?
Thank you so much in advance

Camillo

String homeSpaceId = Application.getCurrentUser(context).getHomeSpaceId();
         NodeRef homeSpaceRef = new NodeRef(Repository.getStoreRef(), homeSpaceId);‍‍

quoted from public void processToolbarLocation(String location, boolean navigate) in NavigationBean.java

Hi,

NodeRef personNodeRef = personService.getPerson(userName);
NodeRef homespaceNodeRef = (NodeRef) nodeService.getProperty(personNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_HOMEFOLDER);  // Might be null
‍‍‍‍

You can use the Node Browser in the admin section of the UI to see what properties are on the nodes.

Just stumbled over the same problem, so thanks to derek for the answer!
btw, to geth the currently logged in user, use

String userName = serviceRegistry.getAuthenticationService().getCurrentUserName();

Before finding this thread i had tried, the following line from a java backed webscript.

repository.getUserHome(personNodeRef)
‍‍‍

But this throws an exception. any idea when its safe to use repository.getUserHome?
