Problem with setScreen...

[Amin Lalji]

Hello,
 
I have an application where a method in a velocity portlet (DoUpdate)
get's called. Once this method is run,
I would like to forward the user to a new screen. in order to accomplish
this I use:
 
rundata.setScreen("UpdateSuccess");
 
This results in  Requested Screen not found: UpdateSuccess
 
If I change to rundata.setScreenTemplate("UpdateSuccess"), the
UpdateSuccess page is displayed, however the doBuildNormalContext of the
UpdateSuccess java class is never called (I need to do some
Processing before the screen is displayed).
 
I have modified the modules.packages in TR.resources to include the
module path (com.client.modules). the UpdateSuccess.java is located in
com.client.modules.actions.
The UpdateSuccess.vm is located in webapp/WEB-INF/templates/screens/html
.
 
 
 
Any Ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
 
Amin
 

Wizard / Work flow...

[Amin Lalji]

Hi,

I have a set of portlets I have written that need to be displayed to the
user in a particular order... the order is determined
programmatically...

e.g. 

HOME TAB
-> user enters first name and last name
action runs and determines that the next screen should be the address
data collection screen...

How do I replace the existing portlet being displayed (under home tab)
with the address collection portlet?

Thanks,

Amin

Have you tried
$jslink.addPathInfo($jslink.ActionKey,"portlets.myAction").addQueryData(
"eventSubmit_...")" ?

Hi all
I have discovered that linking from the template in another way 
"resolves" my problem.
The link that fails is the following

Seems that $jslink.setAction does not work the way I expected.

Thank for your fast responses.

Portlet Forwarding

[Amin Lalji]

Hello,

I have a portlet that is used to do some data entry...
When the user has successfully entered data (passes validation)
I would like to replace the contents of the current portlet with
a portlet indicating success... (preserving the other tabs,etc.)

I have deployed the "Success" velocity template as a portlet in the
registry (name= "AddInfoSuccess").

I have tried setting up the forward service to forward after successful
data entry, but it does not work...it requires the portlet id... I only
know the portlet name...


portlets.xreg



Successfully added Information
Add Information Success
Message





forwards.xml:







Java Code in Action:

ForwardService fs =
(ForwardService)ServiceUtil.getServiceByName(ForwardService.SERVICE_NAME
);

fs.forward(data, "AddInfoForward","Success");

Any ideas?

Thanks

Amin

RE: New User Account: Timestamps are not entered properly to MySQL tu rbine_user table

[Amin Lalji]

Hi Risto,

The user is created a few lines down from the createUser() call
(data.setUser(user)) ... if you want some custom processing done then
you would extend the CreateNewUserAndConfirm class, and then in your new
class, simply override createUser()...

Hope this helps...

Subject: RE: New User Account: Timestamps are not entered properly to

I also tested the effect of changing the Date parameter in
org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.CreateNewUserAndConfirm´s
doPerform() method. Default was like follows:
 Date now = new Date();
   JetspeedUser user = JetspeedSecurity.getUserInstance();
  user.setUserName( username );
  user.setCreateDate(now);
  user.setLastLogin(new Date(0));
  user.setFirstName(
data.getParameters().getString("firstname") );
  user.setLastName(
data.getParameters().getString("lastname") );
  user.setEmail( data.getParameters().getString("email") );

  createUser(user, data);

I changed it to: 
 Date now = new Date(0);

but now, when I added new user, the LAST_LOGIN entry in MYSQL´s
user_turbine table changed to 00 from 1970010201. No
other changes. Why the user.setCreateDate(now) affected the LAST_LOGIN
field? What´s the purpose of user.setLastLogin() then?!?

Secondly... The "new user" html-form in the portal seems to call for
this class as it´s action, but the createUser() method is empty. Where
the creation is actually handled? I´m lost. 

Thanks for all comments.

Betreff: New User Account: Timestamps are not entered properly to MySQL
tu rbine_user table



Hi!

While trying to add new user via Jetspeed based portal, the new record
is added to MYSQL´s turbine_user table so that the MODIFIED timestamp is
just fine as the current time, but CREATED and PASSWORD_CHANGED are a
set of zeros and LAST_LOGIN is set to default (the year 1970 etc.).
LAST_LOGIN and PASSWORD_CHANGED become correct after the related
actions, but CREATED is stuck to zeros. Otherwise the portal seems to be
working.

I´m using jetspeed-1.4-b4 and mysql-3.23.57-win. The driver is
mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha. The DB has been build with the
provited sql scripts and the security-schema.xml shows all the earlier
fields as similar kind TIMESTAMP.






   

Earlier version of the project was using hypersonic DB and then the
MODIFIED and CREATED seemed to be set permanently to NULL. The
LAST_LOGIN was working as in the current version with MySQL. The
PW_CHANGED field didn´t exist in that version of Jetspeed.

The nightly build from 17.7.2003 didn´t help and neither did testing
this with only the "default" Jetspeed portal and MySQL. Same problems
accure. I was also unable to find any similar problems on the mailing
lists or FAQs. Only somehow related comment I found, was at the Apache
Bug Database by Mark Orciuch. He wrote: "[FIX] Last login timestamp is
not recorded - When the user is originally created last login is
initialized but never changes thereafter. I confirmed this problem all
the way back to 1.4b1."

Any idea what is causing these timestamp variations? Why I´m getting
only one field working and the others not? It would be nice to get the
timestamps working properly. All help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Risto Kärkkäinen

Displaying Velocity Template

[Amin Lalji]

Hello,

 

I am trying to display the NewAccount template in jetspeed under it's
own tab.

I have added the following to my portlet registry:







Create New Account

Create a new Account in
system







 

and in the default.psml for anon:

 







Create a new Account













 

I am getting the following error:

The tab gets created, but when clicked I get:

org.apache.turbine.util.TurbineException: Error rendering Velocity
template: null

 

instead of the form I am trying to display.

 

Essentially, I am trying to display the create new account screen under
it's own tab (vs having to click the create new account link)

 

Any help is appreciated!

RE: Confirmation Email sending the email, but not allowing login

[Amin Lalji]

Hi Mike,

I had the same problem, traced the code to
org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.JLoginUser

After tracing the code all the way through, I found that even though the
secret key matches the confirm_value, and the code even does:

user.setConfirmed( JetspeedResources.CONFIRM_VALUE );

when getUser().getConfirmed() get's called further on down (when trying
to login the user in), the new value does not actually equal CONFIRMED
(it returns the secret key value instead).

I added the following line after the initial
user.setConfirmed(JetspeedResources.CONFIRM_VALUE); 

and it seems to have done the trick.

JetspeedSecurity.saveUser(user);

HTH,

Amin

Subject: Confirmation Email sending the email, but not allowing login 


Greetings Folks,

I am running the latest code grabbed from CVS today,
1.4b5-dev.  I have successfully configured such that I
receive the confirm email and the email indeed
contains a seemingly valid secret code.  I checked the
code against the value in the database and it matches.

  All good so far right?.  However, when I try to
either use the link in the email (very cool BTW) OR I
try to login and manually cut and paste the secret key
into the Confirm Registration form, I get:

Sorry, but you must first confirm this account before
logging in.


More Info: I am running JSP templates, but I flipped
to VM templates with the exact same result.

I am 100% sure that the key is correct.  I assume that
the code is/was working.  Any idea's?   Where is the
actual code that checks the secret key and sets
confirm_value to CONFIRMED?  It's either that code or
the templates (both JSP and VM) have some sort of
problem with the parameters or form action I would
guess.  Or more likely, I missed a crucial config
setting.   Wouldn't be the first time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Extending User... some thoughts...

[Amin Lalji]

Hello All,

I recently posted a question regarding Extending JetspeedUser and
CreateNewUserAnd Confirm...

After some further research, here is my dilemma:

I have modified the torque security-schema.xml to add my new columns
I have generated OM objects to org.apache.jetspeed.om.security.turbine
(default)
I have updated my tables with newly created ddl's...

The docs (http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/security.html) say to
extend JetspeedUser and cast to access additional columns... 

Here is the dilemma... JetspeedUser is located in
org.apache.jetspeed.om.security... the object model that contains
entries for the modified schema is
org.apache.jetspeed.om.security.turbine.TurbineUser (and
BaseTurbineUser)  so if I cast JetspeedUser to MyJetspeedUser, set
MyJetspeedUser.title = "mr." and then call MyJetspeedUser.save() 
the entry in the database is null, because the parent (JetspeedUser)
object model does not contain any reference to the modified field!! (the
reference is in TurbineUser)...

Tried casting JetspeedUser to TurbineUser ... resulted in class cast
exception ...

Not quite sure where to go from here...

Hello All,

 

I have been struggling with trying to extend JetspeedUser:

 

I have:

3)   Updated database with new schemas

4)   Extended BaseJetspeedUser (MyJetspeedUser.class)

5)   Within the createUser method of CreateNewUserAndConfirm I have

"create account link", account created, TITLE field in database NULL!

  

  -->Tried: myJetspeedUser.save();

  --> Result after trying to add a new user using

I would like clarification on the process to add additional fields to
TURBINE_USER / new account creation:

 

Do I have to replace the user object (currently JetspeedUser) with
MyJetspeedUser entirely? It seems to defeat the purpose of subclassing.

RE: how to find out that a specific user has logged in

[Amin Lalji]

You may want to try to write an entry to a "currentlyloggedon" table...
then read the table every so often to see who is logged on... on logout,
remove the entry... 

It's a little cumbersome, but will probably do the trick

The method you describe won't work.  When a user logs in, the user
object gets stuffed into the session, and you have to get that specific
instance of the user object to determine if that user is logged in or
not.  JetspeedSecurity.getUser("turbine") just grabs all the info for
that user from the db, and whether they're logged in or not is not
stored in the db. 

AFAIK there's no simple way to see if a specific user is logged in or
not.  It's possible, I would imagine, but not simple.
