Hi Georg,

I was able to develop a work around but it is pretty ugly.  I can now add/delete/update user accounts.  I have posted the flux update here:

https://github.com/jlpainter/turbine-flux/commit/762efbf4fb02c339e4cea384ffee5d46689693d4

The weird part is the security.changePassword(user, oldpw, newpw) method works with the wrapped user object whereas none of the other methods like security.revokeAll(user) are working... maybe there is a clue in that.

Hi Georg,

That helped a lot with the grant/revoke of roles.  I updated the code for revoking as well to match.  I have flux tool now managing the add/removal/update for both groups and roles. Permissions was still giving me some issues and I need to look into that more when I have time.  I don't use permission level security (just groups and roles) but to call the tool complete, I should get it working as well.

I pushed my last updates here:

https://github.com/jlpainter/turbine-flux/commit/81420058acfff26cca346b58ee971fab2eb8201e

The one main issue I see now is that I cannot add/update/delete a user.  I am getting the same cryptic DataBackendException error and can't seem to get past it. It looks like it is most likely related to the issue you have already identified below.

Let me know where I can help with this.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeffery,

that´s in any case very cool to do this fluxTooling! ;-)

I checked out your GitHub project fluxtest and I may have found the bug
(in Turbine).

The issue is that the Turbine service class
org.apache.turbine.services.security.DefaultSecurityService implementing
org.apache.turbine.services.security.SecurityService requires as user
model org.apache.turbine.om.security.User (=User).
On the other side the Fulcrum implementation of the grant method uses a
method (update) (defined in
org.apache.fulcrum.security.torque.security.TorqueAbstractSecurityEntity)
seems to expect as contract fulcrum user object, but also
TorqueAbstractSecurityEntity, which is implemented by the Turbineuser om
class by extending the appropriate baseClass
org.apache.fulcrum.security.torque.turbine.DefaultAbstractTurbineUser in
the schema (= TurbineUser).
How to match this? It WOULD be possible to retrieve the backing
TurbineUser object from the User with the getUserDelegate() method.
But the interface TurbineUserDelegate is not part of the contract of
turbine.om.security.User (though DefaultUserImpl DOES implement
TurbineUserDelegate) this is somewhat hidden in the SecurityService (a
cast would be required later on).
The easiest and most transparent solution would be (in my view), that
org.apache.turbine.om.security.User interface extends TurbineUserDelegate and that at one point the delegate is called (as the TurbineUser OM class
does implement Fulcrum TurbineUser, which implements Fulcrum User this
would be no problem. We have to call getUserDelegate before the
modelManager grant method is called, i.e. in DefaultSecurityService). No
other changes seem to be needed .. I'll create an issue in TRB JIRA as
soon as possible..

As a result you may have to use the Torque mapper for now, cft. your
action FluxUserAction, cft. the github patch
(https://github.com/jlpainter/turbine-flux/pull/1, you might just review
the changes).

I posted a copy to the dev list, where the discussion might continue ...

Best regards, Georg

I gave it one last shot, but I am still having trouble with casting the
user object. The security service seems to only want to give me the
wrapper version and I cannot cast it to anything that the removeUser()
method likes....

maybe you can take a look at the following method.

Hi Georg,

I did a quick test on the remove role method with the following change
and it works.  My problem with role removal was that in my test case,
the role was associated with users and could not be removed. Maybe a
better error message would help? :-)   The user management needs a bit
more work as well to make it comply with the SecurityService. I will
work on that.  The old flux tool also had some weirdness in the way it
handled the getRole() getGroup() getUser() method where it was caching
the last loaded entry... I am fixing that as well.

I inserted a few new roles and was able to remove them.  I am working
on updating the rest of the FluxTool methods so they behave
appropriately.  When I get it into decent shape, I will push updates
to my github project for you to test out if you like before we make a
space to put it into the apache source control.

That will most likely be after Nov 25th when I get back into town. Who
knows - if I get bored, I may open up some code on my laptop, but not
likely as we are going on a cruise where it will be nice and warm!

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

as far as I can see, I assume the implementation class might be
TorqueTurbineModelManagerImpl? Could you check this? Your second
attempt may be indeed close, but the reason is missing. Could you
provide the stack/cause of the exception?

Probably, if this is the case, at this point of the code of the model
manager the role, group and user are already checked, but what might
have caused the exception is a failing cast to

- org.apache.fulcrum.security.model.turbine.entity.TurbineUser of the
user object or
-

org.apache.fulcrum.security.torque.security.TorqueAbstractSecurityEntity
of any of the objects, which may be the reason, if in your schema the
baseclass attribute is not set to
org.apache.fulcrum.security.torque.turbine.DefaultAbstractTurbineXXX
(XXX = User|Role|Group) class (or another class implementing the
required interface, cft. the example torque-security-schem.xml in the
Turbine webapp archetype)...

And thanks for your efforts to migrate / use the flux library!

I looked a little more at the test cases, and got my code setup enough
to try and call the fulcrum security service directly...

                                       // try using fulcrum service

((TurbineModelManager)fulcrumSecurityService.getModelManager()).grant(fulcrumUser,

group, role);

The error logs are still reporting problems:

I verified that this loaded the user "dean" from the database as a
fulcrumUser and it came through with a class type of
com.jivecast.smartorder.om.TurbineUser rather than the wrapper that the turbine security service provided. and now I get a DataBackendException
error on the grant call...

Hi Georg,

I am making some good progress.  I don't know if you remember the old
flux library for user management, but I have started to re-write that
to work with Turbine 4.0.  I am having some troubles however with the
grant/revoke roles with casting the user object incorrectly from the
TurbineWrapper class.  Can you help me with the issue I am having
below?  I looked at the unit tests in the Turbine source for
inspiration on migrating, but it isn't recognizing the user class
properly.  I even tried to manually downcast (see my code below), and
still cannot make it work.

If I can get this all working, I thought it might be useful to publish
a new flux library compatible with Turbine-4.0 for user management as
a guide to others on how to get started.


My logs show the following error when calling the grant/revoke method
on the security service when trying to add the "inventory" role to a

Here is the relevant code in my doRoles() method to make the new

I have the following import:

      private SecurityService security;

.... then my action class method is called doRoles() which does the
role assignment and fails
