Thanks Marius, yes I already found out about the .gwtrpc filter and this is working fine, also I was already able to lookup other components, including the Execution component, where, I just found out, I can XWikiContext xwikicontext = (XWikiContext)execution.getContext().getProperty("xwikicontext"); XWikiUser user = xwikicontext.getXWikiUser(); if ( user.getUser().equals("XWiki.Guest") ) { //User is not authenticated } in fact I think I was before trying to access the old context as it would be accessed by old plugins or something like that, I am slowly finding my way in the new component structure. Thanks for your prompt answer! Vito P.S. great and smart integration for the gwt servlets! enough to declare them as a normal component! Just strange to find the XWikiRemoteServiceServlet in the wysiwig component. On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Marius Dumitru Florea < [email protected]> wrote:

I have written a gwt servlet which I could successfully use in a gwt client inserted through a component into a xwiki page. I now wonder how I can check user authentication from the gwt servlet, since even though I can lookup other components, the context variables are empty.
First of all, you should know that we have a generic GWT-RPC servlet which is mapped to all URLs ending with .gwtrpc and which looks up XWiki components. In other words, you can implement a RemoteService as an XWiki component without touching the web.xml file (i.e. without adding a new servlet mapping).
See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Component+Module for details about XWiki components. You can take as an example
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/xwiki-gwt-wysiwyg-clie... with its implementation
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/web/trunk/xwiki-gwt-wysiwyg-serv... .
If you still want to use your own GWT-RPC servlet then in order to have the XWiki context initialized you need to map the XWikiContextInitializationFilter to your servlet. Checkout web.xml to see what is done for "gwtrpc" servlet.
Hope this helps, Marius
