[Building Sakai] Retrieving current user from session

[Sergio Muriel]

Dear Sam,I'm having a org.sakaiproject.user.api.User object, but when I fetch it into, like this:
			User currentUser = userDirectoryService.getCurrentUser();			System.out.println("*** User.getFirstName(): " + currentUser.getFirstName());						System.out.println("*** User.getDisplayId(): " + currentUser.getDisplayId());			System.out.println("*** User.getDisplayName(): " + currentUser.getDisplayName());			System.out.println("*** User.getEid(): " + currentUser.getEid());			System.out.println("*** User.getEmail(): " + currentUser.getEmail());			System.out.println("*** User.getFirstName(): " + currentUser.getFirstName());			System.out.println("*** User.getId(): " + currentUser.getId());			System.out.println("*** User.getLastName(): " + currentUser.getLastName());			System.out.println("*** User.getSortName(): " + currentUser.getSortName());			System.out.println("*** User.getType(): " + currentUser.getType());			System.out.println("*** User.getUrl(): " + currentUser.getUrl());	
I get:
*** User.getFirstName(): *** User.getDisplayId(): null*** User.getDisplayName(): null*** User.getEid(): null*** User.getEmail(): *** User.getFirstName(): *** User.getId(): *** User.getLastName(): *** User.getSortName(): null*** User.getType(): null*** User.getUrl(): http://localhost:8080/access/user
And this is actually the information that I have in the database:
USER_ID;EMAIL;EMAIL_LC;FIRST_NAME;LAST_NAME;TYPE;PW;CREATEDBY;MODIFIEDBY;CREATEDON;MODIFIEDON849c5404-47ea-418e-bb6e-3a7ca8d760b6;sergioame at hotmail dot com;sergioame at hotmail dot com;Sergio;Muriel;Web Services Accessor;cceylQ==:hNIh42AwPO6m39+Ucnp+BvJgBhEm/jt1hf9OWUiOBoU=;admin;admin;2014-05-06 16:42:38;2014-05-06 16:42:38
And this is actually what Sakai shows me:My Account DetailsUserUser Idsergioame at hotmail dot comFirst NameSergioLast NameMurielEmailsergioame at hotmail dot comTypeWeb Services AccessorCreated BySakai AdministratorCreatedMay 6, 2014 4:42 pmModified BySakai AdministratorModifiedMay 6, 2014 4:42 pm

Do you have any clue about what could be going on with that object? I'm testing it using the same browser but different tabs: One for logging into Sakai, and the other for calls the web service. Am I doing it right?
I appreciate any help.


Best Regards,

Sergio Muriel

Dear All,Does anyone have a good working example of a web service in which the current user is retrieved from the current session?Please note that what I need to retrieve is an object of the class: 

org.sakaiproject.user.api.User
