Getting the UUID of the current user

FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER (26●3●3) Oct 15 '10, 4:50 p.m.

I'm looking for a way to get the UUID of the user currently signed in.

I know about the 'users' REST services (eg /ccm/whoami and /jts/users/{username}) but neither of those includes the internal UUID in the result. I read through the JFSUsersAPI wiki page (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JFSUsersAPI) but that doesn't seem to have any info either.

Any ideas?

Are you trying to do this via the Java client API or via the web interfaces?
For the Java client API you can use:
com.ibm.team.repository.client.ITeamRepository.getUserId(),
com.ibm.team.repository.client.ITeamRepository.contributorManager() and
com.ibm.team.repository.client.IContributorManager.fetchContributorByUserId(String, IProgressMonitor)

The Jazz web UI uses, e.g.:
https://jazz.net/jazz/service/com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.webuiInitializer.IWebUIInitializerRestService/initializationData

which contains a currentContributorInitializer section, e.g.:


                    &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.service.currentContributorInitializer&quot;&#58; &#123;

                        &quot;currentContributor&quot;&#58; &#123;

                            &quot;_eQualifiedClassName&quot;&#58; &quot;com.ibm.team.repository&#58;Contributor&quot;,

                            &quot;archived&quot;&#58; false,

                            &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.typeName&quot;&#58; &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.Contributor&quot;,

                            &quot;contextId&quot;&#58; &quot;_8lNyYNwSEd2pIJ5QVwgQGg&quot;,

                            &quot;details&quot;&#58; &#123;

                                &quot;_eQualifiedClassName&quot;&#58; &quot;com.ibm.team.repository&#58;ContributorDetailsHandle&quot;,

                                &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.typeName&quot;&#58; &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.ContributorDetails&quot;,

                                &quot;itemId&quot;&#58; &quot;_7yhV8qjWEd-D1aqWcEbu6Q&quot;

                            &#125;,

                            &quot;emailAddress&quot;&#58; &quot;Nick_Edgar@ca.ibm.com&quot;,

                            &quot;immutable&quot;&#58; true,

                            &quot;itemId&quot;&#58; &quot;_wzp-IPYJEdqU64Cr2VV0dQ&quot;,

                            &quot;mergePredecessor&quot;&#58; null,

                            &quot;modified&quot;&#58; &quot;2010-09-14T15&#58;56&#58;54.072Z&quot;,

                            &quot;modifiedBy&quot;&#58; &#123;

                                &quot;_eQualifiedClassName&quot;&#58; &quot;com.ibm.team.repository&#58;ContributorHandle&quot;,

                                &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.typeName&quot;&#58; &quot;com.ibm.team.repository.Contributor&quot;,

                                &quot;itemId&quot;&#58; &quot;_wzp-IPYJEdqU64Cr2VV0dQ&quot;

                            &#125;,

                            &quot;name&quot;&#58; &quot;Nick Edgar&quot;,

                            &quot;predecessor&quot;&#58; &quot;_sUp4QcAYEd-fRr9iR3W1xg&quot;,

                            &quot;stateId&quot;&#58; &quot;_seTjgcAYEd-fRr9iR3W1xg&quot;,

                            &quot;userId&quot;&#58; &quot;nedgar&quot;

                        &#125;,

Note that this is internal though.

As for pure JFS API, I'm not sure.
