Xforms-Liferay Security Settings

Hi all,

Im trying to get information about the user stored in Liferay (like email, first name, group he/she is part of) into Orbeon. I can get the username and roles by using the request-security processor but how can I get the extra information.

There isn’t much about it in both Orbeon and Liferay forums. Although in Liferay forums it was mentioned that you can define settings in portlet.xml and call functions in java (http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/devzone/forums/message_boards/message/24798). And there was also functions like:

User user = User.LocalServiceUtil.getUserById(userId);
String userFirstName = user.getFirstName();
String userLastName = user.getLastName();

…that you can use. But I am not sure how this can be used in my Xform or XPL. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Naman,

Not sure if I read that Liferay thread right, but it seems that if you
configure your portlet.xml as specified, you should be able to use the
Java processor to extract user information from the request object.

(It would be nice if oxf:request-generator allowed you to serialize
request attributes, but it doesn't at the moment.)

RE: Xforms-Liferay Security Settings

Hi Erik,

I am trying to get started on this but I am getting stuck at writing a
custom processor. I followed the steps outlined here
http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/processors-java but I get this error:

Cannot load processor '{com.company.my}DeepThoughtProcessor' because it
needs a class that cannot be loaded:
'com/company/my/DeepThoughtProcessor (wrong name: DeepThoughtProcessor)'

This is the steps I followed in accordance with the website:

1. Compiled DeepThoughtProcessor.java and placed the class file in
WEB-INF\classes\com\company\my.

public class DeepThoughtProcessor extends SimpleProcessor {

public DeepThoughtProcessor() {
addOutputInfo(new ProcessorInputOutputInfo(OUTPUT_DATA));
}

public void generateData(PipelineContext context,
ContentHandler contentHandler)
throws SAXException {
String answer = "42";
contentHandler.startDocument();
contentHandler.startElement("", "answer", "answer", new
AttributesImpl());
contentHandler.characters(answer.toCharArray(), 0,
answer.length());
contentHandler.endElement("", "answer", "answer");
contentHandler.endDocument();
}
}

2. custom-processors.xml:

<processors xmlns:my="com.company.my">
<processor name="my:DeepThoughtProcessor">
<class
name="com.company.my.DeepThoughtProcessor"/>
</processor>
</processors>

3. In my XPL file I have:

<p:processor name="my:DeepThoughtProcessor">
<p:output name="data" id="data2" debug="true"/>
</p:processor>

I think I am doing something very stupid, or I am missing a step. Any
ideas?

Cheers,
NJ

RE: Xforms-Liferay Security Settings

In the java code you have posted you didn't include a package declaration - is it there in the source file?

RE: Xforms-Liferay Security Settings

Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for that David, it was the stupidest mistake, I forgot to
add the declaration. Now the example Java Processor works! :) The
problem that I am facing now is how I get the "request" variable that
Liferay needs
(http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/devzone/forums/message_boards/message/
24798). I had a look at the Orbeon Java API for SimpleProcessor but
couldn't find anything about getting it from the HTTPServlet. And where
is the API for ProcessorImpl??

Thanks
NJ

RE: Xforms-Liferay Security Settings

Hi Erik,

I actually had to change it to this to make it work in Liferay:

PortletExternalContext portletExternalContext = (PortletExternalContext) context.getAttribute (PipelineContext.EXTERNAL_CONTEXT);

String serverName = portletExternalContext.getRequest().getServerName();

And I got it working. But what I really need to do is something like this:

Map userInfo = (Map) request.getAttribute(PortletRequest.USER_INFO);

Unfortunately looking through the Java API of ExternalContext.Request I didn’t see anything about getAttribute() and I couldn’t find the API for PortletExternalContext. What do you thnk
