userLogin is null in context

[Muhammad Aamir]

I implemented a simple service in java and made sure in declaration auth is true. However while calling this service I get null when I get userLogin from context.

Plz note that I am calling this service from RMI client.

I believe RMI is only simple (string) data.
you have to have your service to the work on ofbiz size.
there have been a lot of discussion
do a google
ofbiz rmi

Thanks for quick reply.

I am sorry but didn't get you. RMI does support all objects that are serializable. However regardless of it's support, I understand userLogin parameter is set internally by ofbiz and in this case it shouldn't matter how the service is called.

Besides, what do you mean by 'have your service work to the work on ofbiz side'?

sounds like you know more than me, as I said I am notup on RMI
from
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo#FAQ-Tips-Tricks-Cookbook-HowTo-SomethingsYouShouldKnowAboutRMI

One of the problems of using RMI is that complex objects such as
GenericValues are available but entity methods on that object won't work
as they require the entity engine. A workaround is to define facade
services that return simple pojos. Then rmi works pretty well.

How do you know your userLogin is null?

It was a silly mistake. Instead of getting value from Map (context), I was
doing getAttribute() on DispatchContext.

As a remote object, your GenericDelegator will be null, you can use
getAllFields().get(fieldName) to get a field from GenericValue.
