RE: Update user password

[Tom Keeney]

Greetings,

I discovered the reason for the Slide user password caching problem.  It is because my 
client code reinitializes the domain, thus creating new Stores.  I use the following 
code to initialize the domain from my client app:

Domain.init(/path/to/config/file);
Domain.accessNamespace();

This means that Slide has one StandardStore instance for caching and my application 
has another StandardStore instance for caching.  Thus, the user password update did 
not stick because my client code was updating the password in one cache and the 
SlideRealm/WebDAV client was checking the password from another cache.  Since I don't 
have much time to investigate further, I'm going to turn off caching in Slide by 
forcing AbstractServiceBase -> cacheResults() to always returns false.  I'm using 
Slide version 1.0.16 which has hardcoded caching so it is always on.  My question now 
is how do you write a client application that hooks into the Domain that is 
initialized on Slide startup?

Thanks,

Tom

Subject: Update user password


Hi All,

I'm building a client application that adds and updates users in Slide.  So far, I've 
been able to add a user and update the "password" property in the JDBCDescriptorStore. 
 When I add a user, the WebDAV client "propgetall" shows that the user properties are 
correctly set.  However, when I update the user "password", the new property value 
shows up in the database, but a WebDAV "propgetall" does not return the new 
"password".  How do I update the "password" so that it is updated from a WebDAV client?

Here's the code I use to add a user.  This code works fine:
         // create object
         ObjectNode node = new slideroles.basic.UserRoleImpl(uri);

         // create object's properties
         NodeRevisionDescriptor revision = new NodeRevisionDescriptor(0);
         NodeProperty property = new NodeProperty("resourcetype", "<collection/>", 
true);
         revision.setProperty(property);
         Date date = new Date();
         revision.setCreationDate(date);
         revision.setLastModified(date);
         property = new NodeProperty("getcontentlength", "0", true);
         revision.setProperty(property);
         property = new NodeProperty("source", "", true);
         revision.setProperty(property);
         property = new NodeProperty("password", password, 
NodeProperty.SLIDE_NAMESPACE);
         revision.setProperty(property);

         // store object
         structure.create(st, node, uri);
         content.create(st, uri, revision, null);


Here's code that updates the user "password" in the database but does not update the 
WebDAV property:
        
          <snippet>
        // create object's properties
        NodeRevisionDescriptor revision = new NodeRevisionDescriptor(0);

        NodeProperty property = new NodeProperty("password", password, 
NodeProperty.SLIDE_NAMESPACE);
        revision.setProperty(property);

        content.create(st, uri, revision, null);
        </snippet>

Any help with the above <snippet> is appreciated!

Thanks,
