Name & Surname of the current user

[redbull]

Hi all.
From my class after that I read the current username:

// get the current user
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String currentUserName = Repository.getServiceRegistry(context).getAuthenticationService().getCurrentUserName();
‍‍‍‍‍

how I can get "name" and "surname" of "currentUserName"?
Thanks a lot!

Use the person service to get the person node then read the properties you need.

I tried this:

         
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String currentUserName = Repository.getServiceRegistry(context).getAuthenticationService().getCurrentUserName();
NodeRef person = personService.getPerson(currentUserName);
String userName = (String) nodeService.getProperty(person, ContentModel.PROP_LASTNAME);
‍‍‍‍‍‍

but it goes in error on "NodeRef person = personService……..".
This is the log:

Is the code correct, to get the person node?
Thank

Try getting the personservice using following way and see if it works for you or not.

NodeRef person = Repository.getServiceRegistry(context).getPersonService().getPerson(currentUserName);

Thanks,
