String

getRemoteUser()

Parameters

a String containing the remote user or null()

Remarks

The example below shows getting the remote user from a request within a BBJSP Servlet.

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>
        Remote User:<%= #getRequest().getRemoteUser() %>
    </body>
</html>

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet

  field private BBjspWebRequest request!
  field private BBjspWebResponse response!
  field private BBjspWebSession session!
  
  method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)
       
    #request! = context!.getRequest()
    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #response!.setContentType("text/html")
    s! = #response!.getOutputStream()
    
    s!.write("<html><body><h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>")
    s!.write("Remote User:"+ #request!.getRemoteUser())
    s!.write("</body></html>")
