Blazeds + Spring security: fetch data based on current user

Hi,
I'm currently learning flex by trying to build an application with
flex, blazeds and Spring. My application lets users log on using
spring security (which I will probably combine with
AcegiLogonCommand). I would like my assemblers to return different
data based on which user is currently logged on (for instance to show
that specific user's to-do list). To do this, I added a userId
property to my spring security principals (by subclassing
org.springframework.security.userdetails.User)
and added user_id columns to user-specific data in the database. Now
I would like to know how I can get the currently logged on user in my
assembler so I can use its userId to fetch the user's data.
Is the assembler the right place to decide which data to send to my
flex application? If so, can anyone tell me how to determine which
user is currently logged on in my assembler? If not, what would be the
recommended way of dealing with user-specific data in my database in
combination with blazeds?
The only examples I have been able to find on the Internet so far only
use different roles to determine what a user is or is not allowed to
do, I have yet to find any examples where users store and retrieve
user-specific data.
Kind regards,
Jeroen

Hi,
There is a field “Target Audience” in list whenever “Target Audience” is enable in “List Settings”, it accepts the name of a SharePoint group.
For your requirement, you will need to get the name of the group which the current user belongs to. Then perform a query in a specific list to get all the items that
contains the specific value in “Target Audience” field.
Here is a code snippet about how to set Target Audience for an item, there are code lines about
how to get the value of a “Target Audience” field:

A method about checking whether the current user is a member of the specified group:

FM to get previous sunday date based on current date(SY-DATUM)

hi all,
Is there any function module to get the previous sunday date based on current date(sy-datum)?
Regards,

Hi Kapil,
You can follow the logic below:
data:
l_date like sy-datum, **TODAY
l_date2 like sy-datum, **Previous Sunday
data:
l_daynr like HRVSCHED-DAYNR.
*Get today's date
l_date = sy-datum.
*Gey today's day (Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
CALL FUNCTION 'HRIQ_GET_DATE_DAYNAME'
EXPORTING
langu = 'EN'
date = l_date
IMPORTING
daynr = l_daynr.
CASE l_daynr.
*If it is Monday
WHEN 1.
-Subtract 2 days for the previous Sunday
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_SEN_CALE_DAYS_DATE'
EXPORTING
id_date = l_date
id-operator = '-'
is_duration = 2
IMPORTING
ed_date = l_date2.
*If it is Tuesday
WHEN 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_SEN_CALE_DAYS_DATE'

Moderator Message: Basic date related questions are not allowed
Edited by: Suhas Saha on Sep 19, 2011 11:39 AM

Hi,
There are function modules to find out the current day of the week depending on sy-datum. These are as below:
1. DATE_COMPUTE_DAY - Returns a number indicating what day of the week the date falls on. e.g. Monday is returned as a 1, Tuesday as 2,...., Sunday as 7.
2. RH_GET_DATE_DAYNAME - Returns the day based on the date provided, e.g. Monday, Tuesday,..., Sunday.
Using any of the above, if you can find out the current day, then you can calculate and compute the date of the previous Sunday.
My observation is that using the first FM might make the calculation simpler.
Hope this is of help to you.

How to insert values using pushputtons in text item & fetch data based on

Dear friends,
I want to insert values in the Text item using pushbutton e.g to insert 05CST884 into text item using pushbuttons '0' '5' 'C' 'S' 'T' '8' '8' '4' (alpha numeric buttons) in the layout editor and then fetch data based on the number entered with that of one in the table in the another text item2 in the layout editor.
Suggestions regarding how to develop and use effective triggers are welcome.

At the block level (for the control block where all your push buttons are, let's call it block1) create a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger. Your [A-Z] and [0-9] buttons should be on a dedicated non-database datablock to reduce problems. As stated previously, this trigger should just contain the code:
:block2.text_item := :block2.text_item||get_item_property(:system.trigger_item, label);
Also on the pushbutton block, create a backspacve button with its own dedicated WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger containing:
if length(:block2.text_item) > 0 then :block2.text_item := substr(:block2.text_item, 1, length(:block2.text_item)); end if;
This will hopefully erase the last character entered.
block2 should be based on the database table (see Property Palette --> Database) you wish to query and text_item should be based on the database item which contains the code you entered. All the other database items you wish to displayshould also be added to block2.
Add another FIND push button to block1 with the code:
go_block('block2');
execute_query;
Without writing the whole thing for you, I'd suggest you get a decent Forms tutorial book to guide you through the basics (Oracle Forms Developers Handbook).

How can I filter a Sharepoint 2007 libarry list based on current user login?

Hi all.
I would like to know how I can filter a SharePoint library list based on current user login.
Suppose I have created the followings:
1) A SharePoint form library containing bunch of uploaded InfoPath form data.
2) The InfoPath form template contains a promoted text field called "TargetUser" to store user domain login (ex: DOMAIN\JOE) and every InfoPath form file in the library has a valid domain name stored in the "TargetUser" field.
I have created a custom view for the form library and would like to filter this view so only items whose "TargetUser" field matches current user's login ID are displayed.
I went to Edit View page to customize the view and tried to use the [Me] function but I got a "Filter value is not a valid text string" message instead when clicking OK. Apparently [Me] returns a Person/Group data type and the filter cannot compare its value
to that of "TargetUser".
I tried using text functions (ex: TEXT([Me],"") hoping to extract default string value from [Me]. The filter accepts the parameter without any error but the resulting fitlered list does not display any items at all.
I have googled this subject for hours but I have not found any solution.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me to create a functional filtered list.
FYI, my SharePoint 2007 installation is just WSS 3.0 + Form Server. I do not have MOSS 2007 (so no MOSS 2007 web parts or web services).
Thank you.
Jason

Here's what I usually do in order to accomplish this. Ultimately you'll need to have 2 different fields. There's the one you already have, with DOMAIN\username stored in it. Then you'll need an additional field as a "person" column type.
Call it "TargetPerson" or something.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow that runs each time an item is created or changed. One action:
Set FIELD to VALUE.
The first FIELD is "TargetPerson", the VALUE is your "TargetUser" field.
Once this is done, then the person value is stored in the person field. This is the field that you can filter by "TargetPerson" is equal to [Me]

Controlling report output based on current user

Hi all,
I am building a small app with APEX for a sales team.
We have the site and app hosted by another company.
I have built a report showing sales summary for the company. The problem is that the report is showing all sales for all sales people.
What I want is for the report to show data based on the user that is logged in, so that the user only sees his items.
In fact, this would be a useful thing to learn for me, because I could use this functionality on several other pager, so this will be a good example for other situations.
So far I have:
I have a database table that keeps track of the sales reps.
Each sales rep in that table is assigned a unique EMP_id, which is an autonumber column of that table, and is also the primary key.
The table also contains a column named: "User login Name" which is their login ID (the one they use to log into the application.
Possible solution (I think):
when user logs into APEX, retrieve their EMP_id from the EMP table based on their login name,
Hold the EMP_id in a variable for the duration of the session,
pass the variable to the SQL query for the report in the where clause.
Is this a good solution? or is there a better way to do this?
Can anyone advise on how to get this done please,
Thank you.

Hi,
Sorry - I guess I should have said where to create the function!
You can keep those steps or keep with your own method as both should return the value you need. I usually store the result of that value in G_USER - similar to Tyson's method - when the user logs in and then use :G_USER wherever I want to use it in filters etc. However, if I need to create SQL Views, I have to use the GETCURRENTUSERID() function instead.
Andy
ps - I used MIN() in the function to ensure that I only get one value returned. The method SELECT .... INTO .... only allows us to set a variable to one value and, sometimes, more than one value is returned by the SELECT statement and this would generate an error. Of course, there should be just the one value that matches the current user, but I always assume the worst! The statementS:
SELECT MIN(EMP_ID) into user_id FROM S_USERS WHERE UPPER(LOGIN_ID) = UPPER(v('APP_USER'));
user_id := CASE WHEN user_id IS NULL THEN 9999999999 ELSE user_id END;could also be written as:
SELECT EMP_ID into user_id FROM S_USERS WHERE UPPER(LOGIN_ID) = UPPER(v('APP_USER')) AND ROWNUM = 1;
user_id := CASE WHEN user_id IS NULL THEN 9999999999 ELSE user_id END;or
SELECT NVL(MIN(EMP_ID), 9999999999) into user_id FROM S_USERS WHERE UPPER(LOGIN_ID) = UPPER(v('APP_USER'));

Formatting a Date based on the user's Locale

I'm having some trouble formatting a date based on the user's locale. I'm aware you can do something like this:
   public static String getAsString( Object dateObject, Locale locale ) {
      DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance( DateFormat.MEDIUM, locale );
      return dateFormat.format( dateObject );
However, this is returning something like Jan 21, 2009. I need 01/21/2009. Of course, if this was the UK locale it'd have to be 21/01/2009. Any help would be appreciated.

another issue I'm running into is that when I'm logged in as a users' locale which uses '-' instead of '/' (i.e. 21-01-2009), I get a parse error. Can anyone provide any input? Thanks.
    * Parse a Date
    * @param dateString
    * @param locale
    * @return parsed Date
   public static Object parseDate( String dateString, Locale locale ) {
      DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance( DateFormat.SHORT, locale );
      try {
         return dateFormat.parse( dateString );
      catch( Exception exception ) {
         throw new ExceptionUtl( UtlMessageHelper.getMessage( UtlMessageConstants.ERROR_FailedParseDateFromString, dateString ), exception );
    * Format the given value into a DateFormat
    * @param dateObject
    *           Object value to be formatted

    * @return dateObject in SimpleDateFormat
   public static String formatDate( Object dateObject, Locale locale ) {
      DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance( DateFormat.SHORT, locale );
      if( dateFormat instanceof SimpleDateFormat ) {
         SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = ( SimpleDateFormat )dateFormat;
         String pattern = simpleDateFormat.toPattern();
         if( !pattern.contains( "yyyy" ) ) {
            pattern = pattern.replace( "yy", "yyyy" );
         if( !pattern.contains( "dd" ) ) {
            pattern = pattern.replace( "d", "dd" );
         if( !pattern.contains( "MM" ) ) {
            pattern = pattern.replace( "M", "MM" );
         simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( pattern );
         return simpleDateFormat.format( dateObject );
      return null;

Please help.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I dont think you need EKPO to fetch your bukrs. It is available in BKPF too.
Use inner join to join MKPF, BKPF, MAKT, fetch all the related entreis.
Use Inner join on MBEW, MCHA for all entries from above query.
use inner join on AUSP for all entries from above query.
Use may use separate queries or inner joins for LIKP and VBAK with for all entries.
Use separate for all entries for BSEG and MSEG. Do not use any JOIN on BSEG as it is a pooled table.
As per the need you may change the queries..

How to fetch the data in column "Current User"?

I have a task server that are being used for data upload of our computers.
There's one detail I would like to get when I do a report and that's the data that's seen in the the ”Current User” column in ARD itself.
Is there a way to get this data uploaded to the task server and if that's so, how do I fetch that info?
Thanks in advance for any help on this!

OK, thanks for this info.
The thing is I'm only interested in the name that can be set as ”User Name” in System Preferences -> Accounts. Since all the users have the same short name (home folder) it's just that name set in System Preferences that I'm interested in (this name shows up in the ”Current User” column when changed.
Maybe this info shows in a User History Report?
I'll try and see...
Thanks!

Dynamic LOV based on Current user

How do i make a dynamic LOV based on the user id of the current user.
Also how to insert values from a form into a database
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks

Use portal.wwctx_api.get_user to get the currently logged in userid.
The simplest example of a form manipulating data is to create the form based on a table. All DML works automagically. You can base your form on a procedure with dummy columns and do your own DML if you wish. Lots more flexibility that way...

Is it possible to filter list view based on current user logged in

Hi,
Is it possible to filter the list view results based on the current user logged in. I have a scenario wherein i want to show only those list items to the user which contains his/her name under the column Approver (a list column).
So if i login to the page, then only those requests should show up which has my name as the Approver, and so on.
Is it possible please ?
Thank you.

Hi Prajk, you could use audience targeting for this. An alternative would be to create a view and add a filter so that "Approver" is equal to [Me]

Powershell: Add registry value based on current user

I would like to automate a network printer install that uses secure print. I can push the actual install out through group policy, but I need script that will assign each persons unique ID number to the printer settings.
Get current user name
Check that user name against a spreadsheet or .txt file list. This list would have hundreds of unique user names in column A, and a unique ID number in column B.
Example:
Column A (username) Column B (ID Number)
User 1
123456
User 2
789101
Write the ID number in column B to a specific registry value.
Any idea's??

You would use New-ItemProperty or Set-ItemProperty to write a registry value. New-* will allow you to set the value type (you can use -Force if it already exists). Here's an example of using Set-*:
# Set a value named 'ValueName' in the key stored in $RegPath to 'ValueGoesHere'
Set-ItemProperty -Path $RegPath -Name ValueName -Value ValueGoesHere
If you need to get a value, you can use Get-ItemProperty:
# Get all values for the Windows Update service's key:
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wuauserv
# Just get the start value (returned as an object with start and extra PS properties):
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wuauserv -Name Start
# Just get the start value (just the value):
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wuauserv | select -exp Start
(Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wuauserv).Start

Filter Project Server custom field based on current user?

I've got a Project Server 2013 custom field, and I'd like to create a view that only shows me projects where the value in that custom field equals the current user. Simply put: I'm trying to find functionality similar to the [Me] filter in SharePoint.
Apparently, simply using [Me] doesn't work. How can I fix this?

I am trying to do something similar. were you able to find a solution to this? I am assuming no.

Sql query to fetch data based on date conditons

Hi All,
We have to schedule a script that runs at 1:00 AM from Monday to Friday.
The script will run a sql query ,that will fetch the data from sql database 2008 based on the below conditions.
Case 1: If date = current Date then retrieve the data of the previous Date.
Case 2: If date = Monday then retrieve the entries of Friday ,Saturday and Sunday.
Please help us on how we can achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you asking about Patrick's
solution?
If so I highly recommend NOT to use this solution. PLease read LMU92's
and
Visakh16's responses.
Why not to use it?
1. This solution is not deterministic!
A deterministic algorithm is an algorithm which, given a particular input, will always produce the same output. This solution give different values for different setting! It is depending for example on "SET LANGUAGE" value
As mentioned above if you try to use any other languge then English then this query will not work since you will never get the value "Sunday"
2. Moreover! Even if you are using "SET LANGUAGE 'English'" then this
solution depend on "SET DATEFIRST" and only take into consideration that the value can be 1 or 7, using any other value you will get that @weekendDateMod is null!
What can you use?
let's test some value first to get the solution yourself. We know that we don't care about "SET LANGUAGE" since I will not use any language dependency but we need to examine "SET DATEFIRST". Try to change the value from 1 to 7 and check
the value of this query
SET DATEFIRST 1 -- Change this value from 1 to 7!
DECLARE @Sunday DATE = '2014-08-03' -- This is Sunday
DECLARE @Munday DATE = '2014-08-04' -- This is Munday
SELECT DATEPART(DW,@Sunday),DATEPART(DW,@Munday), @@DATEFIRST
Can you see the behavior ?
The results are hidden here (select the text and you will see them)
DATEFIRST___Sunday_______Monday
1___________7___________1
2___________6___________7
3___________5___________6
4___________4___________5
5___________3___________4
6___________2___________3
7___________1___________2
assuming you did the exercise above yourself, then you can now think now what is the filter that you need...
You can use a filter on those two parameters together using "where DATEPART... and @@DATEFIRST...) or using one combine check. Can you think how?
Notice that this value is always 2 on Monday! Regarding our setting
(DATEPART(DW,@CurrentDate) + @@DATEFIRST) % 7
Please Don't Go Down Before YOu Understand!
Now we can go to the solution
* I really hope that you read all and did the small exercise yourself! You can not become a developer by copy answers, and this is the reason that from the start I only gave you tha way and not the final query!
DECLARE @CurrentDate DATE = '2007-08-20' -- This is only for testing since you should use the function GETDATE() instead
DECLARE @MinDateToFilter DATE
SET @MinDateToFilter = CASE
WHEN ((DATEPART(DW,@CurrentDate) + @@DATEFIRST) % 7) = 2 THEN DATEADD(DAY,-4,@CurrentDate)
ELSE DATEADD(DAY,-1,@CurrentDate)
END
SELECT *
FROM sales.salesOrderHeader
WHERE orderDate > @MinDateToFilter
I hope this was useful :-)
