I know, old question, has been answered a milion times by now but mine is somewhat different...
I'm trying to add the current user in an inputfield for a metadata property. We need to add multiple users in on metadata property and I need the current user as the default user. No problem you would say.
Problem is I wrote this customized Java class (NO Web Dynpro or iView) based on Thilo Brandts article:
This class is added as a metadata extension so it's NOT a standalone application.
Result is I do not have the 'request' value I need to get the current user id with the:
IUser me = request.getUser();
command. Also I don't find the information on how to use the context method to retrieve the user information.
Anyone?
