Logic of deleting user is not proper ------------------------------------ Key: GTNPORTAL-3285 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-3285 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Tuyen Nguyen The Assignee: Tuyen Nguyen The I try to add a listener to not allow delete Platform users. for example: {code} public class IntranetUserEventListenerImpl extends UserEventListener { @Override public void preDelete(User user) throws Exception { //don't allow delete user throw new MessageException(new ApplicationMessage("IntranetUserEventListener.msg.delete-user-read-only-mode-error", null, ApplicationMessage.WARNING)); } {code} This listener can help to not allow delete user, but all memberships of user still are deleted. Check logic of deleting users (in file https://github.com/exoplatform/gatein-portal/blob/3.5.x-PLF/component/ide...): we can see it deletes all membershis of an user before broadcast event "preDelete" {code} public User removeUser(String userName, boolean broadcast) throws Exception { //... try { // Remove all memberships and profile first orgService.getMembershipHandler().removeMembershipByUser(userName, false); orgService.getUserProfileHandler().removeUserProfile(userName, false); } catch (Exception e) { handleException("Cannot cleanup user relationships: " + userName + "; ", e); } User exoUser = getPopulatedUser(userName, session); if (broadcast) { preDelete(exoUser); } try { session.getPersistenceManager().removeUser(foundUser, true); } catch (IdentityException e) { handleException("Cannot remove user: " + userName + "; ", e); } //... } {code} Expectation: 1) broadcast preDelete(exoUser) should be run before delete anything 2) Delete user and its membership should be run in one transaction
