User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Portlet that lists all available portals for a user": http://community.jboss.org/message/522258#522258 Author : vineet tripathi Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/vineet_tripathi Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Approach 1 - When you create a portal and assign it the security to be viewed by a role or set or roles, that information is persisted in JBP_OBJECT_NODE_SEC, table of jboss portal schema. This table has 3 columns, PK, ROLE, NODE_KEY. If you query this table and group by role you will get the primary keys of all the portals to which a role is having access.   Once you have got the primary key of portals you can access JBP_OBJECT_NODE table to get the name of portals and construct the URLs to them. Now, All the things that I mentioned above have few cons   1- The table JBP_OBJECT_NODE_SEC is not indexed on ROLE, So if your number of portals will grow you will face performance problem   2- There are portal services to get this information and probably accessing the tables directly will not be a good approach in long term(what if portal schema changes).   Approach 2-   1- Find all the Portals created. You can find the context and then get all the children of context to get a list of all the portals.      To find ur current node   PortalNode root = (PortalNode)request.getAttribute("org.jboss.portal.api.PORTAL_NODE");   PortalNode portal = root;   while (portal.getType() != PortalNode.TYPE_CONTEXT)    {       mainPage = portal;       portal = portal.getParent();    } portal.getChildren(); configurator 2-  get the domain (see the reference guide) and get the uri for each node   3- Find the RoleSecurityBinding associated with each portal   4- use the getRoleName() to determine that to which role the securtiy binding is asscoiated:   RoleSecurityBinding roleSecurityBinding = getDomainConfigurator().getSecurityBindings(uri); roleSecurityBinding.getRoleName() ;     Let us (everyone in the forum) know ur thoughts and how u finally did it (if you have something else in your mind). -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/522258#522258
