Re: How to get group-member-set property?

[Simone Gianni]

Hi Alan,
this is a snippet :
        // Retrieve the current property value
        Vector props = new Vector();
        props.add(new PropertyName("DAV:", "group-member-set"));
        Enumeration enu = resource.propfindMethod(DepthSupport.DEPTH_0, 
props);
        if (!enu.hasMoreElements()) return false;
        ResponseEntity ent = (ResponseEntity) enu.nextElement();
        enu = ent.getProperties();
        if (!enu.hasMoreElements()) return false;
        Property property = (Property) enu.nextElement();

        // Cast it to JDOM, it's a waste i know, if you want you can do it 
in DOM directly, with something like
        //org.w3c.dom.Element propele = property.getElement();
        //org.w3c.dom.Element nele = 
propele.getOwnerDocument().createElementNS("DAV:", "href:");
        //nele.setNodeValue("/users/username");
        //propele.appendChild(nele);
        DOMBuilder builder = new DOMBuilder(true);
        Element ele = builder.build(property.getElement());

        // Now add the new user
            Element nele = new Element("href", "DAV:");
            nele.addContent("/users/" + siteText.getText() + "-" + 
userText.getText());
            ele.addContent(nele);

        // Convert the JDOM tree to a string and patch the property
        XMLOutputter xout = new XMLOutputter("");
        xout.setTextNormalize(true);
        String newattvalue = xout.outputString(ele.getContent());
        resource.proppatchMethod(new PropertyName(ele.getNamespaceURI(), ele
                .getName()), newattvalue, true);
This code is the result of a cut and paste from my own code, where i have 
it splitted in different methods (that's why there are conversions from DOM 
to JDOM and so on). It can be optimized not moving from DOM to JDOM and so 
on, and maybe in other different ways. Anyhow, it works perfectly for me, 
and adding a user to a role/group rarely is a bottleneck in performances. I 
REPEAT, i made a cut and paste from various methods in my code to this 
mail, so i could have done some errors ...

Regarding the permissions to use it, obviously the user with which you log 
on must have the right permission to issue a proppatch. Currently i'm 
using  root just to make sure it works.

Let us know.
Ciao,
Simone Gianni
