Retrieving Entry Point =True,Roles programatically and retrieving their URL

Question

Hi Team,
I want to retrieve the roles whose entry point is equal to true using WebDynpro, And display their names.
When i am trying to display any role name it is displaying with underscores, like if it is content administration role it is displaying like content_admin_role.
I want it to display it just similar name which will display in portal, like content administration how can i do this?
And for each and every role i want to bring the role URL correspond to it.
I tried this and reached upto some extent but not able to open the role perfectly.
I used the below code for getting the names of the roles.
Iterator rit = null;
     try
     IWDClientUser clientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
     IUser user = clientUser.getSAPUser();
     rit = user.getRoles(true);
     IRoleFactory rfact = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
     while (rit.hasNext()) {
     String roleName = (String) rit.next();
     IRole role = rfact.getRole(roleName);
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role names1..."+role.getDisplayName().toString());
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role names2..."+role.getUniqueName().toString());
     //wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role names3..."+rfact.getRolesOfUser(unique,true));
Also suggest me to retrieve the URL's of respective roles, and it should navigate to that perticular role when i open that URL in browser.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First of all you want to distinguish the pcd roles from the LDAP roles. To do that you use a IRoleSearchFilter like this:
IRoleSearchFilter searchFilter = null;
try {
searchFilter = roleFact.getRoleSearchFilter();
searchFilter.setDisplayName("*", SearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
ISearchResult result = roleFact.searchRoles(searchFilter);
if (result.getState() == ISearchResult.SEARCH_RESULT_OK) {
while (result.hasNext()) {
String RoleName = (String) result.next();
IRole role = roleFact.getRole(RoleName);
You also need to check if the role is assigned to the user, so get the user's roles and compare them to the ones you got from the search result.
In order to get name correctly use:
role.getDescription();
To see if Entry Point = True you do something like this:
IPcdContext targetobject =(IPcdContext) initialContext.lookup(role.getUniqueName());
Object object = targetobject.getAttributes("").get("com.sap.portal.pcd.role.EntryPoint");
if (object instanceof IPcdAttribute) {
IPcdAttribute att = (IPcdAttribute) object;
boolean b = att.getBoolean();
To get the URL of the role you should use:
string RoleUrl = "http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://" + role.getUniqueName().substring(4);
