Enum AuthenticatedUserImpersonator

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<AuthenticatedUserImpersonator>

com.atlassian.confluence.user.AuthenticatedUserImpersonator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<AuthenticatedUserImpersonator>

public enum AuthenticatedUserImpersonator
extends Enum<AuthenticatedUserImpersonator>

Impersonates an authenticated user during the execution of the given callback.

The authenticated user is stored on a thread local variable for the HTTP workers. This variable is, amongst other things, used to determine the locale for i18n.

This behaviour makes sense for most cases. But if you want to e.g. render a Soy template for an email (on an HTTP worker) ahead of being sent, you'd want to set the locale to the recipient's locale. If the recipient is unknown to Confluence, you'd want the lookup to default to the site's locale instead of the sender's locale.

Since:

5.1.5

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
REQUEST_AGNOSTIC Use this instance if you'd want the thread to be agnostic of the request cache during the execution of the given callback.

Enum Constant Detail

REQUEST_AWARE

public static final AuthenticatedUserImpersonator REQUEST_AWARE

Use this instance if you'd want the thread to be aware of the request cache during the execution of the given callback.

This would mean that the locale lookup would fall back to the Browser's locale.

See Also:

RequestCacheThreadLocal, RequestCacheThreadLocalFilter

REQUEST_AGNOSTIC

public static final AuthenticatedUserImpersonator REQUEST_AGNOSTIC

Use this instance if you'd want the thread to be agnostic of the request cache during the execution of the given callback.

This would mean that the locale lookup would fall back to the the site's locale.

RequestCacheThreadLocal, RequestCacheThreadLocalFilter

Method Detail

values

public static AuthenticatedUserImpersonator[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AuthenticatedUserImpersonator c : AuthenticatedUserImpersonator.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AuthenticatedUserImpersonator valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

asAnonymousUser

asUser

public <T> T asUser(Callable<T> callback,
                    @Nullable
                    com.atlassian.user.User user)

Impersonates the given user during the execution of the given callback.

Parameters:

callback - the callback to be executed

user - the user to be impersonated

Returns:

the return value of the given callback
