Class UserIdService

java.lang.Object
org.jasig.portlet.newsreader.service.UserIdService
@Service public class UserIdService extends Object
This Spring-managed bean is responsible for extracting the userId from the PortletRequest. The NewsReaderPortlet 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.
