Retrieve CRM Session

To retrieve the current CRM Session object you have to use getCRMSession() method which is implemented in com.crm.businessobject.CRMBase super class. Note that all CRMBO, CRMUI, CRMProcess and CRMAPIBean classes extend CRMBase.

Retrieve CRM Session

 public CRMDO copy(CRMDO dto)
{
	CRMSession session = getCRMSession();
	...
}

Use CRM Session

After retrieving the CRM Session, you can use it to get information about the logged in user, the server, the database and the general and formatting settings.

Example 1 - Logged In User

 public CRMDO copy(CRMDO dto)
{
	CRMSession session = getCRMSession();
	if( dto instanceof CUSTOMCRMDORentalTypeProduct)
	{
		CUSTOMCRMDORentalTypeProduct oldProduct = (CUSTOMCRMDORentalTypeProduct) dto;
		CUSTOMCRMDORentalTypeProduct newProduct = (CUSTOMCRMDORentalTypeProduct)oldProduct.clone();
		newProduct.setCreatedDate(getCurrentDate());
		newProduct.setCreatedByUnit(session.getUnit());
		newProduct.setCreatedByUser(ejbSession.getLoggedUser());
		newProduct.setUpdatedByUnit(null);
		newProduct.setUpdatedByUser(null);
		newProduct.setUpdatedDate(null);
	}
}

Example 2 - Formatting Settings

public BigDecimal getTotalAmount(ArrayList<CRMDO> rentalItems) {
{
	BigDecimal totalAmount  = new BigDecimal(0);
	...
	
	FormattingSetting formattingSetting = getCRMSession().getFormattingSettings();
	Integer numberOfDecimalDigits = formattingSetting.getNumberOfDecimalDigits();
	if (numberOfDecimalDigits!=null)
	{
		totalAmount  = totalAmount.setScale(numberOfDecimalDigits.intValue(), BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
	}
 
	return totalAmount;
}

Example 3 - General Settings

protected CRMDOContactInformation setDefaultResidenceCountry(CRMDOContactInformation contact) throws Exception {
		
	GeneralSetting generalSettings = getCRMSession().getGeneralSettings();
		
	if (generalSettings!=null)
	{
		contact.setResidenceCountry(generalSettings.getDefaultCountry());
	}
	
	return contact;
}
