User-specific time zone information

The JavaServer Faces (JSF) components provide a utility for handling user-specific time zone information in the List component.

The BPCListHandler class uses the com.ibm.bpc.clientcore.util.User interface to get information about the time zone and locale of each user. The List component expects the implementation of the interface to be configured with user as the managed-bean name in your JavaServer Faces (JSF) configuration file. If this entry is missing from the configuration file, the time zone in which the process server is running is returned.

public interface User {

    /**
     * The locale used by the client of the user.
     * @return Locale.
     */
    public Locale getLocale();
   /**
    * The time zone used by the client of the user.    
    * @return TimeZone.
    */
    public TimeZone getTimeZone();

   /**
    * The name of the user.
    * @return name of the user.
    */
    public String getName();
}
