Get groups with getGroupNamesForUser tag

Hi!
I'm trying to get the groups for a logged in user in a jsp page using the getGroupNamesForUser
tag like this:
<% String currentUser = request.getRemoteUser(); %>
<netui:content value="<%=currentUser%>"/>
<um:getGroupNamesForUser username="currentUser" id="userGroups"/>
Unfortunately, i'm getting the following NullPointer error:
Error opening /portlets/SAE/PortalAdmin/PortalAdmin.jsp.
The source of this error is javax.servlet.ServletException: EJB Exception: ; nested
exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException
Any idea why this doesn't work?!?
I'm using Weblogic 8.1.2!
Thx!

Assuming this is the exact code used, you have a typo in the
<um:getGroupNamesForUser> tag. It should be:
<um:getGroupNamesForUser username="<%=currentUser%>" id="userGroups"/>
If that was just a typo, then I don't know.

  • Get groups with ProviderUser

    I need to be able to create a list of the current "groups" that a Portal user (in this case a "ProviderUser", as the Java Object in Package oracle.portal.provider.v2 is called). I need to know what code is required to do this.
    Additionally, I have attempted using "ProviderUser.isUserInGroup(String)", however, it never returns true. What value do I need to pass as "String" for the parameter. Can anyone give an example??
    Regards and thanks in advance

    Hi Jack,
    You could use the OID Java API's to get the list of groups a particular user belongs to. You could do something like this,
    //get the userDN & subscriberDN
    String userDN = portletRequest.getUser().getUserDN();
    String subscriberDN = portletRequest.getUser().getSubscriberDN();
    //get the OidManager
    OidManager oidMgr = portletRequest.getProviderInstance().getOidManager();
    //get the LDAP directory context
    javax.naming.directory.DirContext userDirCntxt = oidMgr.getUserLDAPContext(userDN, subscriberDN);
    //create User object
    oracle.ldap.util.User ourUser = new User(userDirCntxt, Util.IDTYPE_DN, userDN, Util.IDTYPE_DN, subscriberDN, true);
    //get all the group objects to which this user belongs
    oracle.ldap.util.Group[] userGrps = ourUser.getGroupMembership(userDirCntxt, attrList , true);
    Note: attrList is an array of attributes (String[]) to be returned for each group. So set up what you want & pass to this method.
    Hope this helps.

  • Trouble with struts tags

    Hi,
    I am new to struts and am getting confused with the tags.
    I have few doubts.
    My Actionform would be -
    public class AForm extends ActionForm {
        //~ Instance fields ********************************************************
        String deptNo;
        String dName;
        String loc;
        //~ Methods ****************************************************************
         * This function
         * @param deptNo DOCUMENT ME!
        public void setDeptNo(String deptNo) {
            this.deptNo = deptNo;
         * This function
         * @return DOCUMENT ME!
        public String getDeptNo() {
            return deptNo;
        }In my action class I say -
    selectSql = "SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT";
                    pStmt = conn.prepareStatement(selectSql);
                    theResultSet = pStmt.executeQuery();
                    ArrayList _arrayList = new ArrayList();
                     while (theResultSet.next()) {
                        AForm theAForm = new AForm();
                        theAForm.setDeptNo(theResultSet.getString("DEPTNO"));
                        _arrayList.add(theAForm);
                    req.setAttribute("arrayListOfDeptnos", _arrayList);My question is -
    How do I get this arraylist in the JSP and iterate through it? Should I code in this way? Is there an more elegant way to do it??
    My JSP page
    <%   
              java.util.ArrayList ss = (java.util.ArrayList)request.getAttribute("arrayListOfDeptnos");
              if(ss!=null){
        %>
          <logic:iterate id="booId" scope="request" collection="<%=ss%>" type="mypackage27.AForm">
            <html:link action="/getme" paramId="theNum" paramProperty="deptNo" paramName="booId">
              <bean:write name="booId" property="deptNo"/>
            </html:link>
          </logic:iterate>
          <%  
        %>I know this must be very trivial ...

    Rather than using collection attribute (which requires a runtime expression) instead use the name attribute.
    Also, if you aren't going to use the variable "booId" in scriptlet code/expressions, you can leave out the "type" attribute.
    Probably the scope attribute as well.
    That all boils down to:
    <logic:iterate id="booId" name="arrayListOfDeptnos">
      <html:link action="/getme" paramId="theNum" paramProperty="deptNo" paramName="booId">
        <bean:write name="booId" property="deptNo"/>
      </html:link>
    </logic:iterate>And for completeness, the same thing using some JSTL code:
    <c:forEach var="booId" items="${requestScope.namearrayListOfDeptnos}">
      <html:link action="/getme" paramId="theNum" paramProperty="deptNo" paramName="booId">
        <c:out value="${booId.deptNo}"/>
      </html:link>
    </c:forEach>Cheers,

  • Grouped with artwork and Tags problem

    Hello! I'm tried guys! The problem:
    For example, I copy a new album (which include 5 tracks) to iTunes library, then I select all that 5 added tracks and click right button and choose "get info". After, I jump to ArtWork tab and add a cover and click "OK". Well, now I choose option "show items grouped with artwork". Uh, what am I see..? I see that every track of album separate of each other but they have the same cover. Why..? Why they are not together under one common cover? Maybe wrong tags? All tracks of that album have the same album name, year, artist name, genre and artwork of course. What's the problem?
    Thanks.

    A common problem, be 100% sure that album and artist is exactly the same. One way of doing this is to select all of the tracks, chose get info, and rename all of the tracks from here. Typical mistakes is that one of the songs might have a space before or after the artist name or something.
    Hope that helps.

I clicked to turn it on and I was asked to add this computer which I have already done. I talked to the Apple support group and they talked me through the set up  through add this computer again! But sure enough it worked I had the cloud icon next to music in the left hand side bar and in the store tab i-tune match was turned on and everything seemed to be working.
    I, looked again less than half an hour later and i-tunes match was turned off again. I began to turn it on again and now I get asked to pay the i-cloud subscription. How is this resolved?

    Hi,
    Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
    In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
    My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
    One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
    The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
    My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
    Thanks.

  • Bad bug with ID3 tags of different case for same artist

    My itunes files and music library are on a different drive than my boot drive. It is an internal drive (always on) in my Mac Pro at /Volumes/Media1/iTunes with music library at /Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music. iTunes is setup to automatically keep it organized and copy files to the media folder when adding. It has been this way for years, never a problem.
    Just recently, and I think this may have coincided (but I'm not sure) with a 10.6.5 Snow Leopard update, my music started disappearing! The entries were still in the library, but with the missing exclamation mark in itunes with it reporting that it couldn't find the files. But only certain artists. After searching my computer, I found the missing files it at the same path, but on my boot drive, at /Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music/<missing artist>!
    Trying to add these files back to my library would work briefly, but then they would magically disappear out of /Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music and go back to /Media1/iTunes/iTunes Music/
    I figured out the one thing the different artists that had this behavior had in common - some of the ID3 tags for the same artist, which are the basis for organization, were in different cases. I think there is a weird case sensitivity bug that is breaking things. When I add back only those songs for an artist with ID3 tags for the artist of the same case, the behaviour stops.
    I'm posting less looking for an answer and more to raise visibility and hope this gets a fix.
    Example entries from my iTunes Library.xml, notice how the 'k' in OutKast is a different case in the entries.
    <key>Artist</key><string>OutKast</string>
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/OutKast/Speakerboxxx,%20Th e%20Love%20Below%20(Disc%202)/13%20Pink%20&%20Blue.mp3</string>
    <key>Artist</key><string>Outkast</string>
    <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/Media1/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Outkast/Aquemini/12%20Spot tieOttieDopaliscious.mp3</string>

    I'd like to note that I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I'd add to this but petegas4life has it spot on. I'm just replying in hopes this thread gets noticed so the engineers at apple can look into this and hopefully fix it in the next release.
    Reproducing the problem is pretty simple too. Just take one song from an album and change the case of the artist name. You'll see the music move to the boot drive and all of the songs from that artist won't work in itunes anymore. And if you're relying on iTunes to edit the tags, fixing the files is a PAIN because they keep disappearing on you.

  • New account gets created with wrong permissions (777 instead of 755)

    Hey Apple and Forum people, looks like there's a pretty bothersome error in the way that user permissions get set when you set a user's home folder to a drive partition.
    By default, a user's home folder is supposed to get 755, with all of its subdirectories (excluding Public and Sites) as 700. But if you set up a new user and point his/her home folder to a partition or a separate drive, the folder is set to 777 - meaning that anyone can read, write, and execute any file they'd like to from that drive.
    Given the sensible defaults of 755 during normal user creation, I can't believe this was intentional. And if it was intentional, then it's wrong and ought to be changed.

    Set the permissions on the other volume's root directory the same as the boot volume.
    owner:root
    group:admin
    chmod 1775
    Make a /Users directory on the other volume and
    set permissions same as on the boot volume,
    owner:root
    group:admin
    chmod 755
    create your new user directory in the /Users directory on the other volume.

  • Limitation on source group with services using ip address range

    Hello,
    I have an interface on CSS which I regard as public and another interface I regard as private. On the private interface is a server farm with private ip addresses. Since the server admin guys insisted the servers need to access internet just for Windows Update, I made a source group to NAT the private addresses to public addresses to allow the servers to access internet.
    I defined services for use by the source group. Since keepalive is not important in this case, I set keepalive none to ,I hope so, save system resources.
    I have server 192.168.1.1-5 (5 servers) and 192.168.1.11-14 (4 servers), so I made a service with ip address 192.168.1.1 range 5 and another service 192.168.1.11 range 4.
    But then I found that the two services cannot be put in the same source group. It is because of the different range in the service definition.
    I can get it work if I define services with single ip address, but then I will have a long configuration with repetative information. And I think this may be using more system resources.
    I can also get it work if I include 192.168.11.15 and define two services both with a range of 5 ip addresses. But 192.168.11.15 is not actually there.
    Why is there such a limitation on source group, or services with ip address range? Is there the same limitation for content rules? Or am I getting it all wrong and should do the configuration in other ways?
    Advices will be welcomed.
    CT Yau
    Hong Kong

    Yes you are correct. There is a limitation while adding services into source groups.
    You can create as many services that share an ip range (eg. a /24 subnet range). But the trouble starts when you add them into source groups. You can not add them into a source group NOR you can add them under different source groups as well.
    You mentioned that you can use single ip adress instead of range for the services...but it is not true as you will be stuck when you add them into source groups.
    I can think of these following options in your case.
    Option 1
    Change the ip range on the servers. Use 2 different IP ranges one for those 5 servers and another for those 4 servers.
    Create 2 services for each range.
    Create 2 groups and add the services.
    service server-out-192.168.1.1-5
    ip address 192.168.1.1 range 5
    active
    service server-out-172.168.1.11-14
    ip address 192.168.1.11 range 4
    active
    group server-out-192.168.1.11-14
    vip address x.x.x.1
    add server-out-192.168.1.1-5
    active
    group server-out-172.168.1.11-14
    vip address x.x.x.2
    add server-out-172.168.1.11-14
    active
    Option 2
    Create a service that includes all the ip addresses starting from 192.168.1.1 through .14 using the range keyword.
    Now you need to create one source group with a VIP. Add the service to the source group.
    If you do not want to cover the unassigned ip addresses just move them up and use consecutive ones.
    service server-out-192.168.1.1-14
    ip address 192.168.1.1 range 14
    active
    group server-out-192.168.1.11-14
    vip address x.x.x.x
    add service server-out-192.168.1.1-14
    active

  • Error while running JSP with custom tag

    I am trying to run a jsp with a tag and I am getting the following error when I run the jsp:

    Its difficult to tell without looking at your TLD file i.e. mytaglib.tld
    However, a guess is that you may be refering to an invalid or otherwise corrupted DTD from your TLD.
    Check that out.
    The official DTD for TLDs in JSP 1.1 is http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd

  • Two groups with the same name in File and LDAP realms

    Hi,
    I configured WLS 6.0 SP1 to use an LDAP caching realm
    as default one. In the LDAP server (Netscape Directory)
    I have a group called Administrators. There is a group
    with the same name in WLS own File Realm. When I click
    on the Groups menu item in the administration console
    I only get the Administrators group from the File Realm
    listed. Is that expected? What will happen if I protect
    a resource ti the Administrators group? Which one will
    prevail - the one from the LDAP or the one from File
    Realm? Or maybe the two will be merged?

    Hi
    First of all I want to know that where you created your class, In SE24 or in any programm.
    if in SE24, then go to se24 open that class go to methods tab and check if that method name accurs at two places, if not, then
    click on that method and check the code.
    or if in a program.
    then you must have defined like
    class <class name> definition.
    public section
    method <method name>
    endclass.
    class <class name> implementation.
    method <method name>
      code for that method.
    endclass.
    It might be possible you have set the implementation part twice for that particular method, So please check and delete one implementation for that method.
    Thanks

    I just wanted to point out that THIS WORKED. It's the most ridiculous sounding "fix" ever, but it actually does work. It's not our fault - Apple, come on. Seriously?
    Anyway, leaving the hostname of the machine in worked too. Putting the FQDN of the machine (which is what one would expect in a field called "Domain Name!") caused it to fail again. I went back to just the hostname, and the group wikis are working as expected.
    The Web Technologies Admin 10.5 PDF says "In the Sites General pane, enter the fully qualified DNS name of your website in the Domain Name field." - but if you actually FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS you'll wind up with totally broken wikis. *shakes head*

  • Trying to get broadband with bt from august

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I am writing to you concerning the connection of BT Broadbrand into our home at Tallbridge road,  Co.Armagh, 
    We applied for both phone and broadband at the beginning of August. The phone line was installed by an engineer, went live as planned, with the appropriate hardware arriving, simply, quick and efficiently.
    This was not the case however in relation to the broadband. We have been pushed from pillar to post for the last nearly 4 months with operators either not knowing what the issue is or simply hanging up as they cannot seem to resolve it nor find the manners to adequately tell us the status of the order tho generally they are very nice and pleasant however in the end if they are of no help,
    they assure you that someone from yet another team will call but they never do all we get is a text message that our order has been put back another week (i have numerous of these messages).
    The problem seems to lie with a tag on the line. To give you a quick run down, we built the house from scratch, there has been no previous house on the site since approx 4/5 years ago therefore we are not responsible for the tag and have no power to remove it or look into it, therefore as a bill paying BT customer we expect BT to sort the issue.
    We get assured when we call it will be removed by force within the next 48 hours this has been going on in excess of 3400 hours.
    We live in the countryside so open zone is a pointless short term remedy so please do not suggest that. The is no 3g signal and we need are emails for work to pay a mortgage. Internet runs quickly and sufficiently in neighboring areas we would expect this should not be the issue.
    We have been very patient however we think that 3/4 months later this is unacceptable.
    Can you please advise how you will help?
    I have spent 27mins this morning on the phone and got the same line that there is an unresolved issue and someone will be in touch. If the line cannot be cleared for broadband please let us know as we will simply have to look to another provider.
    I await your response.
    Regards,
    Gairoid
