[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPORTAL-1707) New UserModule/RoleModule finders

New UserModule/RoleModule finders --------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-1707 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1707 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal Security Affects Versions: 2.6.1 Final Reporter: Andrew Oliver Assigned To: Boleslaw Dawidowicz Fix For: 2.8 Final While working with clients using the portal API some efficiency issues with regards to finders have become apparent: It is presently possible to find users having a role by calling MembershipModule.getUsers(role). However it is not possible to get a list of users with a set of roles, a list of users who do NOT have a role or set of roles. (there are ways in both HQL and LDAP to construct each type of query). I suggest something similar to hibernate conditions. MembershipModule.getUsers().addCondition( Condition.and( Condition.not(roleSet), Condition.with(roleSet) ) ) this would result in roughly: from Users where roles in (:roleSet) and roles not in (:roleSet2) and something like (& (|(role=roleName)(role=roleName) ) (&(!role=roleName)(!role=roleName) ) ) in LDAP the attribute name can be based on the type. As it stands you have to do something like: try { Role roleApproved = rolemodule.findRoleByName("approved"); Role roleUsers = rolemodule.findRoleByName("User"); //todo create transient wrapper set. Set users = membership.getUsers(roleUsers); dirtyStinkyHackToGetAroundPortalAPIBugACO(users); System.err.println("Total number of users with User Role : " + users.size() ); Set temp = new HashSet(); temp = dirtyStinkyHackToGetAroundPortalAPIBugACO(users); //because the hibernate set doesn't have removeall users = temp; Set usersApproved = membership.getUsers(roleApproved); System.err.println("number of users with approved role: "+usersApproved.size()); users.removeAll(usersApproved); System.err.println("Total number of users with User Role and NO approved role : " + users.size() ); Map profiles = profiles(users); response.setRenderParameter("op", "new"); request.getPortletSession().setAttribute("users", users); request.getPortletSession().setAttribute("profiles", profiles); } catch (IdentityException e) { //todo type this and catch it up higher to make a //smarter error message throw new RuntimeException(e); } private Map profiles(Set users) throws IdentityException { Iterator i = users.iterator(); Map retval = new HashMap(); while(i.hasNext()) { User user = (User) i.next(); retval.put(user, profileModule.getProperties(user)); } return retval; } private Set dirtyStinkyHackToGetAroundPortalAPIBugACO(Set users) { Iterator i = users.iterator(); Set retval = new HashSet(); while(i.hasNext()) { User u = (User)i.next(); u.getUserName(); retval.add(u); } return retval; } Just to get the list of users who DONT have the "approved" role. For our immediate needs: UserModule.getUsersWithout(role) would work...until next time. -Andy
