Method Detail

getConnection

public static Connection<?> getConnection(org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestAttributes request)

Get the connection to the provider user the client attempted to sign-in as. Using this connection you may fetch a provider user profile and use that to pre-populate a local user registration/signup form. You can also lookup the id of the provider and use that to display a provider-specific user-sign-in-attempt flash message e.g. "Your Facebook Account is not connected to a Local account. Please sign up." Must be called before handlePostSignUp() or else the sign-in attempt will have been cleared from the session. Returns null if no provider sign-in has been attempted for the current user session.

Parameters:

request - the current request attributes, used to extract sign-in attempt information from the current user session

Returns:

Connection

handlePostSignUp

public static void handlePostSignUp(String userId,
                                    org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestAttributes request)

Add the connection to the provider user the client attempted to sign-in with to the new local user's set of connections. Should be called after signing-up a new user in the context of a provider sign-in attempt. In this context, the user did not yet have a local account but attempted to sign-in using one of his or her existing provider accounts. Ensures provider sign-in attempt session context is cleaned up. Does nothing if no provider sign-in was attempted for the current user session (is safe to call in that case).

Parameters:

userId - User Id

request - the current request attributes, used to extract sign-in attempt information from the current user session
