[10:48:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> bad things will happen if you start poking around with existing portal session attributes (reading from or writing to) without going through the appropriate accessor API
[10:49:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> like to get the IUserInstance you should inject IUserInstanceManager into your code
[10:49:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and use: "IUserInstance getUserInstance(HttpServletRequest request)"
[10:49:33 CDT(-0500)] <b-rock> yes. I have done that in the servlet .
[10:49:36 CDT(-0500)] <b-rock> and get the user.
[10:50:15 CDT(-0500)] <b-rock> or rather updated the servlet to use the updated api for the IUserInstance
