Class MailAddressResolver

java.lang.Object
  hudson.tasks.MailAddressResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint

Direct Known Subclasses:

LDAPSecurityRealm.MailAdressResolverImpl

public abstract class MailAddressResolver
extends Object
implements ExtensionPoint

Infers e-mail addresses for the user when none is specified.

This is an extension point of Hudson. Plugins tha contribute new implementation of this class should put Extension on your implementation class, like this:

 @Extension
 class MyMailAddressResolver extends MailAddressResolver {
   ...
 }
 

Techniques

User identity in Hudson is global, and not specific to a particular job. As a result, mail address resolution only receives User, which by itself doesn't really have that much information in it.

So the common technique for a mail address resolution is to define your own UserProperty types and add it to User objects where more context is available. For example, an SCM implementation can have a lot more information about a particular user during a check out, so that would be a good place to capture information as UserProperty, which then later used by a MailAddressResolver.

public MailAddressResolver()

Method Detail

findMailAddressFor

public abstract String findMailAddressFor(User u)

Infers e-mail address of the given user.

This method is called when a User without explicitly configured e-mail address is used, as an attempt to infer e-mail address.

The normal strategy is to look at the projects that the user is participating, then use the repository information to infer the e-mail address.

When multiple resolvers are installed, they are consulted in order and the search will be over when an address is inferred by someone.

Since MailAddressResolver is singleton, this method can be invoked concurrently from multiple threads.

Returns:

null if the inference failed.

resolve

public static String resolve(User u)

all

public static ExtensionList<MailAddressResolver> all()

Returns all the registered MailAddressResolver descriptors.
