Problem listing available desktops

Question

Hi, I'm writing a webapp that present a list of available desktops. I've created a delegated admin and assigned this user to a role. I have then given this role the manage instance capability on two of my three desktops. If I log on to the portal admin tool with this user things seems to be correct. I can ony see two of my three desktops.
In my webapp I use the following code.
DesktopDefinitionManager man = null;
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DesktopDefinitionManagerHome home = (DesktopDefinitionManagerHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ic.lookup("transferDesktopsApp/BEA_netuix/DesktopDefinitionManager"),
DesktopDefinitionManagerHome.class);
man = home.create();
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
DesktopDefinition dd = null;
CustomizationContext cust = null;
DesktopDefinition[] test = null;
try {
cust = new CustomizationContext(this.getRequest());
test = man.getDesktopDefinitions(cust, "sb1portal");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
The remote user in my request object is the new user that I created. This code returns all desktops. Does anyone know how to limit the desktops returned to the desktops my logged in user has access to?
Kind regards

Answer 1

you will have to create P13nSecurityResource as follows:
new P13nSecurityResource(appName, webAppName, resourceId, "view")
Creating resourceId is tricky. In this case, it would be some thing like this appName+"@"+portalName+"@"+desktop"+"@"+desktopDefinitionLabel.
You can actually use EntitlementConstants.RESOURCE_ID_DELIMITER instead of '@' symbol in the above expression.
