Class UserIdService

java.lang.Object

org.jasig.portlet.announcements.service.UserIdService

@Service(value="userIdService")
public class UserIdService
extends Object

This Spring-managed bean is responsible for extracting the userId from the PortletRequest. Announcements uses userId as a foreign key when it stores data. Normally this process is simple -- all authenticated users use PortletRequest.getRemoteUser as a userId. Unauthenticated users, however, need a different strategy. Users who aren't authenticated will have null for both getRemoteUser and the USER_INFO map. We need to differentiate them (in the case of multiple guest users) based on the role(s) they belong to.
