How to get all customers

[0019187810]

Hello,

I am trying to create a List with all customers. For as far as I can see, I can get one user at a time (be it the current user, or a userFromUid)

this is what I had been able to do: final CustomerModel cm = (CustomerModel) userService.getUserForUID();

Can anyone tell me how I can get all customers?

Thanks in advance!

I believe you can get the users from getUserService().getUserGroup().getMembers() ;

This will return all the users.

Thanks Samudrala, that did the trick for me. I was able to get my Customers out of the list by looping and using instance of.

Thank you!

Vinay, am I correct that the getUserService() should return the object of de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.user.UserService, where the method getUserGroup(String paramString) is deprecated in 5.3?

Please note that usergroup.getMembers() will not give you all Users directly, but a hierarchical Structure (Principals) instead. e.g. is willl give you something like this:

 - John Doe (CustomerModel)
 - Jane Doe  (CustomerModel)
 - Subusergroup 1 (UsergroupModel)
 --SubSubUsergroup 1 (UsergroupModel)
 --- Mr. X  (CustomerModel)
 --- Mr. Y  (CustomerModel)
 -- Mrs. Z  (CustomerModel)
 - Foo Bar  (CustomerModel)

to get all CustomerModels, you'd have to write a function that collects all users from sub-groups as well. Or, as an alternative, you could work with Flexible Search/ Write a Dao.

If you're looking for a specific set of users, then try and use a flexible search query. This would be more efficient than returning all the users in a group and then iterating over them.

That is a good suggestion. I'll try it that way. Thanks!
