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;

import org.exoplatform.social.core.relationship.Relationship;

import org.exoplatform.social.core.relationship.RelationshipManager;


public void inviteUser() throws Exception {

  String containerName = "portal";

  ExoContainer container = ExoContainerContext.getContainerByName(containerName);


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


  Identity invitedIdentity = identityManager.getOrCreateIdentity(OrganizationIdentityProvider.NAME, "Hoat");

  String invitedUserId = invitedIdentity.getId();


  String currUserId = "Zun";

  Identity currentIdentity = identityManager.getOrCreateIdentity(OrganizationIdentityProvider.NAME,  currUserId);


  RelationshipManager relationshipManager = (RelationshipManager) container.getComponentInstanceOfType(RelationshipManager.class);

  Relationship relationship = relationshipManager.invite( currentIdentity, invitedIdentity);

}
