Retrive user group in WL7.0

Question

PLEASE, URGENT!!!
I'm trying to retrieve the belonging group of a user logged in from a servlet.
My web application is deployed on Weblogic 7.0.
Could anybody give me some hint, please?
Thanks,
Enrico

Answer 1

I found an interface
weblogic.management.security.authentication.MemebrGroup
isterMBean that provides a method called
listMemeberGroups(java.lang.String
memberUserOrGroupName), which lists the groups that
directly contain a user or a group.
I'd like to know which class implements this interface
(if there's any) or, otherwise, a tip on how to make a
reasonable workaround.that's exactly where to look. The WL 6.x weblogic.security.acl-package methods (which you've probably used before) are now in weblogic.management.security.authentication. The mappings go like this:
6.x method                    7.0 method
newUser()                     UserEditor.createUser()
deleteUser()                  UserRemover.removeUser()
newGroup()                    GroupEditor.createGroup()
deleteGroup()                 GroupRemover.removeGroup()
Group.addMember()             GroupEditor.addMemberToGroup
Group.removeMember()          GroupEditor.removeMemberFromGroup()
Group.isMember()              GroupMemberLister.listGroupMembers() or
                              SubjectUtils.isUserInGroup()
Group.members()               GroupMemberList.listGroupMembers()
userExists()                  UserReader.isUser()
isGroupMember()               GroupReader.groupExists(),
                              GroupReader.isMember()now, the actual class, that extends these interfaces depends on the Authentication provider you are using. I've got no idea what that could be =)
