As you can see, the attributes are a bit repetitive, but offer a breadth of options to you as a developer in
terms of which user attributes you need to use for your portlet application.
However, it is not sufficient just to use these in your application. Your deployment descriptor must declare
which of these are used by a portlet application, and the deployer needs to map them against the related
ones available in the targeted portal server. This is where using the standard attributes comes in handy, as
it will greatly reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of mapping necessary to deploy your application.
Presuming you have done all of the appropriate mappings (and the section “Portlet Application
Deployment Descriptor” discusses how to do this in your
portlet.xml), you can gain access to user
attributes such as the following:
Map userdata = (Map) request.getAttribute(PortletRequest.USER_INFO);
String workEmail =
(String) request.getAttribute(“user.business-info.online.email”);
