Here is a sample code snippet from the sample Basic Current User API plugin:

Code Block
languagejava
@Operation(
        path = "/getUserDetails",
        type = Operation.MethodType.GET,  
        summary = "Get user details",
        description = "Get user details via username, else get current user."
    )
@Responses({
    @Response(responseCode = 200, description = "Success", definition = "User"),
    @Response(responseCode = 404, description = "User data not found", definition = "ApiResponse")
})
public ApiResponse getUserDetails(
        @Param(value = "username", required = false, description = "Username of user.") String username) {
    ExtDirectoryManager dm = (ExtDirectoryManager) AppUtil.getApplicationContext().getBean("directoryManager");
    User user = dm.getUserByUsername(username);
    WorkflowUserManager wum = (WorkflowUserManager) AppUtil.getApplicationContext().getBean("workflowUserManager");
    User currentUser = wum.getCurrentUser();
    if (user != null) {
        return new ApiResponse(200, user, getFields());
    } else if (user == null && currentUser != null) {
        return new ApiResponse(200, currentUser, getFields());
    } else {
        return new ApiResponse(404, AppPluginUtil.getMessage("BasicCurrentUserAPI.resp.404", getClassName(), getResourceBundlePath()));
