JBPM-2870 access current authenticatedUserId from EL

rebody Aug 11, 2010 9:49 PM

Hi guys,

I think this is an interesting feature, I expose the Environemnt to the ELContext, Then we could access current authenticatedUserId in EL, of course we need execute processEngine.setAuthenticatedUserId("johondoe"); at first.

the patch was attached to JIRA.

https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2870

Please tell me your opinion. Thank you very much.

Just one question - is there anything in the environment that shall not be exposed as EL? Wondering if such items like interceptors, various sessions, etc shall be available there?!
Besides that looks good.

Hi Maciej,

In my opinion, we just provide a simple way to access environment from EL. I had test ScriptActrviity, Everyone could get any components by invoking EnvironmentImpl.getFromCurrent(XXX.class);

If we want to limit which components user could access, we should declare another alias, And I think another alias is hard for people to understand.

Agree, last remark - using it from EL is simpler than from java code but as you said it can be done.
