I have developed an application in Java/eclipse and i need to integrate this app as a widget to IBM Connection5. I lack one thing, i need to get the current IBM Connection 5 User Id. Is there Any way, my app can talk to IBM Connection5? and get the Current User ID of IBM Connection5. I used HTTP Session but i supposed it is to get the user info of my app rather than IBM Connection5

you can make a request to https:///connections/opensocial/basic/rest/people/@me/@self

You get back the user object which includes the id

{"entry":{"appData":{"connections":{"isExternal":"false","organizationId":"urn:lsid:lconn.ibm.com:connections.organization:20000393"}},"displayName":"User Admin","emails":[{"type":"primary","value":"ibmcnxdev.ca1@bluebox.lotus.com","primary":true}],"id":"urn:lsid:lconn.ibm.com:profiles.person:20000394"}}

  • you make an HTTP Request to your server using HttpsUrlConnection or Apache HTTP Client – Paul Bastide May 18 '15 at 11:36
