[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Found the management interface

[TomHombergs]

I downloaded the JBoss Portal source and had a thorough look at the admin portlets (core-admin project), in which the portal structure is modified. Then, I imitated it in my own portlet.

Here is how it works:

Entries in jboss-portlet.xml to get access to some JBoss-Services:

  | <service>
  |       <service-name>PortalObjectContainer</service-name>
  |       <service-class>org.jboss.portal.core.model.portal.PortalObjectContainer</service-class>
  |       <service-ref>:container=PortalObject</service-ref>
  | </service>
  | <service>
  |       <service-name>InstanceContainer</service-name>
  |       <service-class>org.jboss.portal.core.model.instance.InstanceContainer</service-class>
  |       <service-ref>:container=Instance</service-ref>
  | </service>
  | <service>
  |       <service-name>AuthorizationDomainRegistry</service-name>
  |       <service-class>org.jboss.portal.security.AuthorizationDomainRegistry</service-class>
  |       <service-ref>:service=AuthorizationDomainRegistry</service-ref>
  | </service>
  | <service>
  |       <service-name>FederatingPortletInvoker</service-name>
  |       <service-class>org.jboss.portal.portlet.federation.FederatingPortletInvoker</service-class>
  |       <service-ref>:service=PortletInvoker,type=Federating</service-ref>
  | </service>
  | 

Java-Code example in the portlet, including iteration through all deployed portlets, creating a portal page, creating a portlet instance and putting in in a window on that page:

PortalObjectContainer container = (PortalObjectContainer) getPortletContext().getAttribute("PortalObjectContainer");
  | 		InstanceContainer instanceContainer = (InstanceContainer) getPortletContext().getAttribute("InstanceContainer");
  | 		FederatingPortletInvoker portletInvoker = (FederatingPortletInvoker) getPortletContext().getAttribute("FederatingPortletInvoker");
  | 		AuthorizationDomainRegistry registry = (AuthorizationDomainRegistry) getPortletContext().getAttribute("AuthorizationDomainRegistry");
  | 		
  | 		try {
  | 			// create a portal page
  | 			Page page = container.getContext().getDefaultPortal().createPage("MyPage" + counter);
  | 			
  | 			// iterate through existing portlets and select one
  | 			List<Portlet> tmpPortlets = new ArrayList(portletInvoker.getFederatedInvoker("local").getPortlets());
  | 	        for (Portlet portlet : tmpPortlets) {
  | 				if(portlet.getInfo().getName().equals("WeatherPortlet")){
  | 					// create an instance of the selected portlet
  | 					InstanceDefinition def = instanceContainer.createDefinition("MyPortlet" + counter, portlet.getContext().getId());
  | 					// configuring security
  | 					DomainConfigurator configurator = registry.getDomain("instance").getConfigurator();
  | 		            Set constraints = Collections.singleton(new RoleSecurityBinding("view", SecurityConstants.UNCHECKED_ROLE_NAME));
  | 		            configurator.setSecurityBindings(def.getId(), constraints);
  | 					// create a window containing the portlet
  | 					Window window = page.createWindow("MyWindow" + counter, ContentType.PORTLET, def.getId());
  | 					window.setDeclaredProperty(ThemeConstants.PORTAL_PROP_REGION, "right");
  | 		            window.setDeclaredProperty(ThemeConstants.PORTAL_PROP_ORDER, "" + Integer.MAX_VALUE);
  | 				}
  | 			}
  | 			
  | 		} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
  | 			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
  | 			e.printStackTrace();
  | 		} catch (DuplicatePortalObjectException e) {
  | 			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
  | 			e.printStackTrace();
  | 		} catch (DuplicateInstanceException e1) {
  | 			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
  | 			e1.printStackTrace();
  | 		} catch (PortletInvokerException e1) {
  | 			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
  | 			e1.printStackTrace();
  | 		}
