Liferay Thrift Servlet - standard authentication

i have an Liferay portal 6.2 ce ga4 jboss bundle up and running with a thrift servlet i wrote for communication between an app and the server. I wanna use Liferay for its User Management only, so i just want to authenticate a User with his credentials through the Liferay api.

I first tried to use the UserLocalServiceUtil, but when i call the Method the Server throws this error :

I really don't come any further. I also looked at com.liferay.portal.security.auth but cannot find any classes. I just want a method that i can call that checks if a user is registered.

Here is my Code that is running on the servlet.

import org.apache.thrift.TException;

import com.fsu.unired.alarmapp.thrift.generated.User;
import com.fsu.unired.alarmapp.thrift.generated.UserAuthenticationService;
import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;

    public class UserAuthenticationHandler implements UserAuthenticationService.Iface {

        @Override
        public User signIn(String forceMail, String password){
            System.out.println("signIn called...");

            User usr = new User();

            System.out.println("returning user:" + usr.toString());

            try {


                int status = com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil.authenticateByEmailAddress(0, forceMail, password, null,null, null);
                System.out.println("Status : " +status);
                switch(status) {

                    case -1:    return null;

                    case  1:    System.out.println("case 1");
                                com.liferay.portal.model.User liferayUser = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUserByEmailAddress(0, forceMail);
                                System.out.println(liferayUser.toString());
                }
                return usr;
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            return usr;
        }

I have the portal-service.jar included. And here is my web.xml :

Solution

  • I'm assuming that you're deploying a plain web application - you might want to try a Liferay-web plugin. This is very similar but is aware of Liferay being present and might initialize the infrastructure that Liferay's API needs. Otherwise you'll have to do this initialization yourself.
