Getting weblogic usersegment details using an API

Question

Hi,
Can weblogic usersegment (*.seg) information be got using some API?
if not, how can the information be got, so that we can for example, pass the usersegment name to the weblogic businessrule as a condition and got some contentquery as an action??

Answer 1

Please find below the sample code to get information about user segment.
     @Control
     private SegmentManagerControl segmentManagerControl;
     @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "default", path = "index.jsp") })
     public Forward begin() throws PersistenceException, XmlException, LoginException {
          Authentication.login("weblogic", "weblogic", getRequest());
          ResourceContext resCtx = ResourceContext.createResourceContext(getRequest(), getResponse(),getServletContext(), false);
          resCtx.setRetrieveResultsIfNoLocale(true);
          resCtx.setWebApp(getServletContext().getServletContextName());
          RuleModel ruleModel = segmentManagerControl.getSegment("/segments/GlobalClassifications/testUserSegment.seg", resCtx);
          System.out.println("Name"+ruleModel.getName());
          System.out.println("Description"+ruleModel.getDescription());
          Authentication.logout(getRequest());
          return new Forward("default");
Note: You can use this API only from the controller. You need to create SegmentManagerControl in controller and from there you can access the user segment details. you need to be in the Administrative group to access SegmentManagerCotnrol (and all other controls related to campaigns, placeholders etc.).
segmentManager.getSegment() always returns null, if you're not in the Administrators group.
