IdentityManager

IdentityManager is the service used to manipulate the identity operations, such as creating, getting, deleting or finding a profile. You can get the IdentityManager via the ExoContainer. The following code will show how to get an IdentityManager instance and create a basic identity instance:



import org.exoplatform.container.ExoContainer;

import org.exoplatform.container.ExoContainerContext;

import org.exoplatform.social.core.identity.IdentityManager;

import org.exoplatform.social.core.identity.impl.organization.OrganizationIdentityProvider;

import org.exoplatform.social.core.identity.model.Identity;


//......


String containerName = "portal";

String username = "zun";


//get container to get other registered components

ExoContainer container = ExoContainerContext.getContainerByName(containerName);


//get IdentityManager to handle identity operation

IdentityManager identityManager = (IdentityManager) container.getComponentInstanceOfType(IdentityManager.class);


//get ActivityManager to handle activity operation

ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) container.getComponentInstanceOfType(ActivityManager.class);


//create new user with name Zun

Identity userIdentity = identityManager.getOrCreateIdentity(OrganizationIdentityProvider.NAME, username);
