How to get the ticketId?

[neelesh100]

Hi,

I am trying to get the ticketId to avoid multiple logins in a jsp that essentially browses the repository.

I have found a class in Alfresco:

InMemoryTicketComponentImpl which has a method getTicketId() which should solve my problem.

My question is,  how to get a handle to the intstance of the class that has the current ticketId in a jsp.

thanks

We store the authenticated User object in the HTTP session using a key of "_alfAuthTicket".

Within the JSP you can retrieve this object from the request object and then call getTicket().

Thanks, I will try this.

Hi, following up on this same topic, how would I get the "_alfAuthTicket" and then the ticket in  a .ftl file that is being used by a websrcipt?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you can't.

The HTTP request object is not available to freemarker templates during their execution.

If I understand the question correctly, you can use

$(session.ticket}‍

within a Freemarker template to get the authentication ticket as a string.

thanks,

Thanks, you did understand my question correctly. I had figured it out, I was just going to post that, but thanks anyway.
