Jazn api add user?

Question

I have a simple requirement for a registration page on my web app. The user enters their email address to register. On registration the app needs to create a new user (in jazn-data.xml) assign the correct role and send the information to the new user in an email. I think I need to authenticate temporarily as the 'admin' user and then use the UserManager and RoleManager apis to create the new user. Is this the right approach? If so how do I authenticate as the 'admin' user programatically?
Thanks

Answer 1

I have successfully managed to create a new account in jazn-data.xml using the following code, without any authentication. The user appears in the global ocj4 jazn-data.xml.
Realm realm = null;
try {
JAZNConfig jc = JAZNConfig.getJAZNConfig();
RealmManager crm = jc.getRealmManager();
realm = crm.getRealm("jazn.com");
UserManager userManager = realm.getUserManager();
RoleManager roleManager = realm.getRoleManager();
RealmRole userRole = roleManager.getRole("users");
RealmUser user = userManager.getUser(userName);
if (user == null) {
user = userManager.createUser(userName, password);
roleManager.grantRole(user, userRole);
success = true;
My problem now is that the new user is not available for authentication purposes until oc4j is restarted. I'll raise this on a new thread.
