Find the iViews, Pages and Folders assigned to Role

Question

Hi,
Does any one has the idea about how to retrieve the worksets, pages and iviews assigned to a role.
I found a piece of code that will retrieve the roles, worksets, pages and iviews from PCD.
Here is the code, that is to retrieve the roles, worksets, pages and iviews from PCD
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser());
env.put(com.sap.portal.directory.Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION);
InitialContext initialContext = null;
DirContext dirCtx;
initialContext = new InitialContext(env);
dirCtx = (DirContext) initialContext.lookup("pcd:portal_content/");
PcdSearchControls pcdSearchControls = new PcdSearchControls();
pcdSearchControls.setReturningObjFlag(false);
pcdSearchControls.setSearchScope(PcdSearchControls.SUBTREE_WITH_UNIT_ROOTS_SCOPE);
dirCtx.addToEnvironment(Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS,Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS);
// Gets the full path of the iViews from the PCD
NamingEnumeration ne =      dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview)",     pcdSearchControls);
while (ne.hasMoreElements())
     IPcdSearchResult searchResult = (IPcdSearchResult) ne.nextElement();
     String location = "pcd:portal_content/" + searchResult.getName();
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("View ="+location);
// Gets the full path of the pages from the PCD
NamingEnumeration nePage = dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.page)",pcdSearchControls);
while (nePage.hasMoreElements())
     IPcdSearchResult searchResult = (IPcdSearchResult) nePage.nextElement();
     String location = "pcd:portal_content/" + searchResult.getName();
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Page ="+location);
// Gets the full path of the worksets from the PCD
NamingEnumeration neWorkSet = dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.workset)",pcdSearchControls);
while (neWorkSet.hasMoreElements())
     IPcdSearchResult searchResult = (IPcdSearchResult) neWorkSet.nextElement();
     String location = "pcd:portal_content/" + searchResult.getName();
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("WorkSet ="+location);
But my requirements is, if I have the role as "Sales Role", I want to find the iViews, Pages and worksets assinged to this role.
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.

Hi,
All you need to do is to change the search root object:
DirContext dirCtx;
initialContext = new InitialContext(env);
dirCtx = (DirContext) initialContext.lookup("pcd:portal_content/mypath/myrole");
PcdSearchControls pcdSearchControls = new PcdSearchControls();
pcdSearchControls.setReturningObjFlag(false);
pcdSearchControls.setSearchScope(PcdSearchControls.SUBTREE_WITH_UNIT_ROOTS_SCOPE);
dirCtx.addToEnvironment(Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS,Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS);
all the rest stays the same.
BTW - you can also retrieve all the objects using one search by putting
(|(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview),(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.page),(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.workset))
In the search query. Then you can get the type using PCM (portal content model) APIs.
Hope this helps, Elisha
