Get all users in custom Macro or Plugion

[Felix Hammann]

Hi all,

I'm new in "Atlassian development". I want to realise a very simple task: Receive all Confluence user in my Confluence Macro and list them (I know, there already exists a similar pre-installed macro, but I want to extend my macro later). I have searched for many hours until now... wihtout success. Is there any example/tutorial etc. on the web? Has anybody a hint / an example for me how to realise this task? Unfortunately I have no starting point, which classes might I use?

Thank you very much for help (and sorry for my english, its not the best...),

Felix

You coukd use the UsserAccessor component.

UserAccessor userAccessor= (UserAccessor )ContainerManager.getInstance().getContainerContext().getComponent("userAccessor");

Pager<User> users = userAccessor.getUsers();
Pager<String> userNames = userAccessor.getUserNames();

In a usermacro youn could do:

#set($containerManagerClass = $content.class.forName('com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager'))
#set($getInstanceMethod = $containerManagerClass.getDeclaredMethod('getInstance',null))
#set($containerManager = $getInstanceMethod.invoke(null,null))
#set($containerContext = $containerManager.containerContext)
#set($userAccessor= $containerContext.getComponent('userAccessor'))
#set($users = $userAccessor.getUsers())

Hope this helps :-)

How do you know you you need com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager to create an instance of com.atlassian.confluence.user.UserAccessor is beyond me, :) For reference this is how you do it using APIs: {code} userAccessor = (UserAccessor) ContainerManager.getInstance().getContainerContext().getComponent(UserAccessor.class); {code} Do you know how to create an instance of com.atlassian.user.GroupManager? I tried serveral ways but no luck. I need to to use with com.atlassian.confluence.user.UserAccessor's method getMembers(com.atlassian.user.Group group). Thanks.
