getName

public String getName()

Returns the name commonly used to refer to the principal.

Default behavior for the superclass is to return the user profile name

Specified by:

getName in interface Principal

Returns:

The principal's name.

getSystem

public AS400 getSystem()

Returns the AS400 system object for the principal.

Returns:

The AS400 system for the principal; null if not assigned.

getUser

public User getUser()
             throws AS400Exception,
                    AS400SecurityException,

                    IOException,
                    UnsupportedEncodingException

Returns an IBM i system User object based on the user profile name and system associated with the principal.

The system property must be set and a valid userProfileName must be identified by the principal prior to requesting the user.

Returns:

The com.ibm.as400.access.User object.

Throws:
