Hello all. On the main menu for the end user, I would like to display the end users name instead of the account Id. It looks like the account Id is being returned as a string in the jsp from a call to the session via getUser(). Is there a way to get a specific user attribute in the jsp code? I would prefer to get it modified..
Thanks!
Jim

How to present the end user's fullname in the user interface.
QUESTION:
I'm trying to make the end user pages welcome a user with his/her full name rather
than the accountId.
I've tried modifying the user/main.jsp page, but it doesn't seem to work and I
prefer to not have to modify any jsp pages for future ease of upgrade.
ANSWER:
One way to do so is to put your welcome message into the "End User Menu" userform,
where the user view is available for referencing:
<Property name='subTitle'>
<concat>
<s>Welcome, <b></s>
<ref>waveset.attributes.firstname</ref>
<s> </s>
<ref>waveset.attributes.lastname</ref>
<s></b>. Please select one of the options below:</s>
</concat>
</Property>
Note that you will still need to edit the listed jsp page and comment out the
default welcome message:
<!--<p class="subtitle"><%= logged_str %>
-->
