Get property of sap.ui.model.Model always returns undefined

[zaberca_david]

Hello experts,

I think this question has been discussed a million times and the solution is never working.

I'm getting the /services/userapi Model loaded into component.js and then retrieve it in another view. The object is there, as I checked in debugger. Inside the model, I want to get the user id, more precisely from /oModel/name.

I'm accessing the value like this:

var userModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel("UserInfo");

var userId = userModel.getProperty("/oModel/name");

I checked in debugger, took it step by step. The name is there. The path is correct. It always returns undefined. What is going on? I also tried attaching it to a request complete event. It doesn't work. Also, oData is private and can't access the value directly.

Can you help me out please?

Thanks in advance,

David

Or you can simply access it like below, assuming that ur app is inside the launchpad

sap.ushell.Container.getService("UserInfo").getUser()

BTW, you probably shoud remove /oModel from the path:

userModel.getProperty("/name");

The problem was I was using path /oData/name and not /name. Every other discussing mentions using /oData and nobody fixed it, until now. Many thanks to you, Mahesh.
