The best way to implement user's access level via Servlet & JSP (or more)?

Hi all,
I am trying to implement user's access level in an application to allow certain access to certain page or components within a page (buttons, etc.). From my experience with JSP, Java, servlet, I am think of having the jsp/servlet to check for user's access level to decide what jsp components or forward page to go to next but that doesn't seem clean or elegant way to handle it.
Any suggestions of how to do this? Are there other technologies (Struts) out there that can handle this?
Thanks so much in advance for your feedback or suggestion,
Thong Bui

I haven't experienced a lot in defining security roles before, and there is probably a lot to learn about this area. However I might be able to assist you in some way. Whenever I have 2 or more objects that need to be stored in the session, I create a class called UserContainer. Say you have three properties:
empSsn (String) , isAdmin (Boolean), isAgent (Boolean), then:
public class UserContainer implements Serializable  {
private String empSsn = null;
private Boolean isAdmin = null;
private Boolean isAgent = null;
public UserContainer() {
super();
public void setIsAdmin(Boolean isAdmin) {
this.isAdmin = isAdmin;
public Boolean getIsAdmin() {
return this.isAdmin;
// getters and setters for the other properties
Of course after you decide (in your sevlet) whether the app user is an administrator or an agent, you can set the corresponding property in the user container, and then save it in the session. Afterwords, in any jsp, you can decide to display a certain element (e.g a button) after you check the user's role. Example:
// Welcome.jsp
<% UserContainer userContainer = (UserContainer) session.getAttribute("userContainer");
boolean isAdmin = userContainer.getIsAdmin().booleanValue();
boolean isAgent = userContainer.getIsAgent.booleanValue();
if(isAdmin) { %>
<!-- HTML/Code corresponding to an administrator -->
<% } if(isAgent) { %>
<!-- HTML /Code corresponding to an agent -->
<% } >Of course, this is a very simple way of doing such a task, you will find more secure ways if you look at LDAP or something of that matter.
Cheers

  • Whats the best way to create USER variable in BI Apps?

    I have just installled BI Apps and am trying to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11g
    We have USER variable already defined in the BI Apps rpd.
    In EBS Security context init block i need to define USER variable, but when i define it... it says *'USER' has already been defined in the variable "Authentication"."USER"*
    Whats the best way to create USER variable for EBS Security Context init block?
    1) Delete the existing USER variable and then define a new one ( in this case all the places where USER variable is getting used in the rpd would become <missing>)
    And i was told that it should not be done.
    Let me know how can it be done.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Disable existing Init block and then double click on USER variable and hit on NEW... button to create new Init block

  • What is the best way to implement Carousel i.e. web part in a site page on office 365 site?

    We can implement the Carousel web part in many ways like content By Query Web Part , jquery (nivo) plugin or content search web part etc. But among these which one is the best way to implement to get best performance of the page?
    Thanks

    content search web part always provides best performance because it uses the search. only consideration you need to take is, it does not display the changes immediately and you need to wait for the incremental crawl to happen.

  • What is the best way to implement writable many-to-many relations

    As everyone knows, the many-to-many associations provided by BC4J are quite good to read many-to-many associations, but they are not able to write such associations.
    There are other solutions using composite associations or cascading-delete foreign keys, but as I was tought now, they are also quite problematic. See thread Internal error: Entity.afterRollback.status_dead   -- What does this mean? for more details.
    So I ask you: What is the best way to implement writable many to many associations? Do you really have to manage them "by hand"?
    Thanks for your ideas

    I'd appreciate any hint

  • The best way to implement business logic to a .JSP ?

    Hi experts,
    I want to implement some business logic to a .JSP file wich is in my modified
    <b>com.xxxNew.portal.usermanagement.admin.pa</b>r file!
    For examle creating different roles for useres by registration dependently what they inseret in the registration.jsp!
    What is the best way to do this? I have tried out to create a stateless session bean for this. Is this the right way?
    Can someone give me information how can I access this bean from my JSP (.par file) and how can I upload it to the portal?

    Hi,
    Here is the document about Calling J2EE Applications from Portal Applications:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/9ddf20bb211d72e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
    So in your JSP do the lookup of your EJB.
    I do not think using EJB at this level is really good, as you do not deal with DB, security and transactions in your code.
    http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=126400
    Why not just use a portal component like JSPDynpage for this purpose?

  • What is the best way to implement default values stored in a DB table?

    [JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
    [JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
    We are struggling on how to best implement default values that are stored in a DB table. What we have is a database table with (CODE_TYPE, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DEFAULT_VALUE) as columns. This way the application administrator can administer default values himself/herself. Now we need to find the best way to set these table supplied default values in new rows. Globally we are aware of two ways:
    - override create() method on VO
    - probably create a View Object on top of the database table with default values (we are capable of transposing the table and return exactly one row with a column for each default value) and use JHeadstarts item property 'Default Value'.
    We prefer the latter, since this is more declarative, however we struggle with the EL expression needed to indicate the default value.
    If we have a VO named "DefaultValues" with a SELECT on a view on top of our database table (transposed) returning exactly one row, let us say:
    SELECT orglanguage, orgtype, orgstatus [...]
    FROM v_default_values
    --> returning exactly one row
    and we want an EL expression on an item that needs the value from orglanguage. What will the EL expression be? Something like:
    #{data.DefaultValuesPageDef.currentrow.orglanguage.inputValue}? We tried several things but they do not work. A static default value works, but every EL expression so far does not. We know that using "data" can be dangerous, but thought JHeadstart takes care of preparing the other Page Definitions, so it might be possible when you use JHeadstart.
    Or is overriding the create() method the preferred way? Or do we have to look at a Managed Bean for our default values that we refer to from EL (let us say MyAppDefaultValuesBean) and in that case: how do you associate a Managed Bean with a VO?
    Any help would be appreciated. Apart from these default values, things are going rather well in this first J2EE/JHS project for us!

    Steven,
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately whatever we try, we cannot get it to work. We started looking at the second option (since we do need default values also in table lay-out new rows). We created a DefaultValues ViewObject, added it to the Application Module, added an EL expressiona to the Default Display Value property (replacing your ending ")" with a "}" offcourse ;-)), ran the JAG so that a page definition was generated for DefaultValues and we managed to get it prepared when loading for example the Organisation's jspx page. However no default value appears in a new row (not in Form, not in Table layout).
    I then created a quick application on top of the HR schema, added a DefaultValues ViewObject using one calculated attribute (set Salary fixed to 1000), added the EL expression to the Salary Default Display Value property in the Employees Group, made sure the DefaultValuesPageDef is prepared by adding it to the parameter section and I see it getting prepared. I also see a managed Bean is created in the Employees-bean.xml.
    In the Embedded OC4J log we see:
    16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -executing onCreate
    16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -CreateEmployeesDefaultValues bean found, applying default values to new row
    2006-08-02 16:01:01.825 WARNING [ADFc] Warning: No Method onCreateEmployees and no actionBinding CreateEmployees found.
    Is it this warning we should be worried about? Since no default value is created.

    We do not understand what is wrong and why the default values do not get created in the new rows (and it is taking us far too much time). Any chance the EL expression is still wrong? It is a shame that any syntax errors in EL expressions are not visible in some logfile. It looks like when EL expressions are wrong, they are ignored instead of raising an error...

  • What's the best way to get user testing of our app (we're based in the UK)

    Hi all.
    We've just developed our first app for Palm and would really like to get some feedback from Palm users (our app allows users to take photos and send them as real printed postcards. We'd be very happy to give users free postcards in exchange for feedback).
    The problem we have is that Palm users are pretty sparse in the UK. We've found that user testing with non-Palm users becomes handset testing rather than app testing. We have to teach them how to use Palm ("Where's the back button?") and so the testing mainly focuses on the particularities of Palm rather than our app. Plus, we don't benefit from the user being able to compare to other Palm apps.
    Any advice on the best way to get feedback from Palm users? Especially as they'll need to download the SDK and install our app using it in order to get it onto their phones.
    If any of the users of this forum are interested in giving the app a go and sending us feedback, I'd love to send you the IPK and then chat. Just send me an email using [email protected]
    Our app is available for Pixi+, Pre+ and Pre2.

    to our many enthusiasts on Twitter as a beta with the #webos hashtag or joining

  • The best way to implement graphics for a monopoly game

    Hello,
    I am implementing the graphics for a simple Monopoly game. I am currently creating a subclass of Canvas for drawing the board but when I repaint the canvas multiple times, you can clearly see the canvas repaint (a white area quickly flashs up and disappears).
    What would be the best way to do the pieces moving? I thought of using the Graphic Layers Framework but I couldn't install it correctly and I would have to install it on every machine I run the game on.
    Thanks very much,
    Gary

    Without trying to patronise, I assume you are using Double Buffering?
    If not, that is what you need to do - draw the board offscreen, and once all the drawing operations have been completed, display this (fully drawn) image.

  • What is the best way to implement a scheduled task?

    Dear kind sirs...
    let us say I have a JSF application, and it is working perfectly fine...
    I need the method like
    void DoProcessing()
    *// processing code here*
    to execute everyday at 7AM...
    so what is the best way to do it? I need this to be part of the JSF application... not in a different process... and I want the method to execute at that exact time every day.
    and what are the main steps to do that?
    best regards

    Dear Mr. Chris...
    the reason I am asking about this is because we are required to provide reports for a number of customers by email every day... each report requires retrieving values from a DB.
    I made a test few hours ago about making a thread sleeps and check the time when it wakes up, it works, no problem about that...
    I placed a thread in the servlet context and started it... and it kept working for about an hour writing in the log every 5 seconds... so I guess the idea works...
    but do you think that this way of implementing the scheduler is ok? for I have not done it before and I don't know the cons of such a method.
    thanks for any advice or comment.
    best regards

  • What the best way to create User defined table with ADDON purpose

    Hi folks, how are you ?
    I´m beginner in development to business one, and I m studying to develop ISV addons.
    But, during my exercises and analisys, I learned that have two ways to create tables and fields in business one. One way is throght by wizard in business one using Tools Menu > Configuration Tools > User Defined Tables >
    Obs: I ´m using Business One Patch Level 9.
    Other way, is create the tables and fields using DI API
    But, my question is. When I develop one addon, or one UDO form that uses one set of user defined tables or used defined fields that where created by the first way (by wizard in B1), how I deploy this in other business one installation ? The package process will ensure the creation of this tables in another enviroment or I must implement the creation of user defined tables using DI API so that this code is called during the installation?
    If in cases of addon develop I must use DI API to create user defined tables, How can I use my classes with this responsibility in package process ?
    Thanks my friends.

    Hi Renan,
    You just need to put your logic in to the startup of your application, after you've established your connection to the UI API and DI API. All this will be triggered in the constructor of your main class.
    namespace MyNamespace
    public class MyAddon
      bool runAddon = true;
      bool initialised = false;
      const string ADDON_NAME = "My Addon";
      public static void Main()
            MyAddon addOn = new MyAddon();
            if(runAddon)
                  System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run();
            else
             Application.Exit();
      public MyAddon()
            // Connect to SBO session for UI
            if(!SetApplication()) runAddon = false;
      private bool SetApplication()
            // Code goes in here to establish UI API and DI API connections
            // See SDK samples for examples
            // You should also define and filter the UI API events your addon will trap at this stage and create any menus
            // Call your routine to check if the required UDFs/UDTs exist on this company
            initialised = CheckInitialisation();
            if (!initialised)
               //  AddOn not yet intialised on this company so prompt the user to run the intialisation process
              int iResponse = app.MessageBox("The " + ADDON_NAME + " addon will now create all required fields and tables."
                                             + System.Environment.NewLine + System.Environment.NewLine
                                             + "WARNING: It is strongly recommended that all other users are logged out of this company "
                                             + "before running this process. Are you sure you wish to continue?", 2, "Yes", "No", "");
              if (iResponse == 1) initialised = InitialiseAddOn(); // Call your routine to create the objects
            return true;
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • What's the best way to be able to access and work on files between new iMacs?

    One is used in office downstairs and other is for personal. We want to be able access office documents and work on them upstairs.

    There really is no best way, without knowing what you want to do more in-depth it's difficult to recommend.  You can turn on iCloud on both machines, you can use Sharing on both and/or  you can use a Dropbox account. Please explain in-depth what kind of files you will be sharing and what you are thinking of.

  • What's the best way to wipe user info on OSX without doing a clean install of the OS

    Hello,
    I am going to give my old imac to my nephew so I want to delete myself as an Administrator and user (ie, remove all traces of my personal info).  However I DO NOT want to delete all the installed applications I have installed over the years as they are useful to him.
    Should I just set up a new admin and delete mine or are there other things I can/should do to 'clean out' myself from the system?  (preferences, etc.)
    Thank you!

    Yes
    How about my old emails?  In addition to Mail, I used to use Thunderbird.  Are there any special places that I need to delete files from for those apps?
    Yes old emails are gone. No special places for Thunderbird, emails are kept in the User account folder.
    And finally, if he wants to keep my itunes music, can i just drag my itunes folder into his account prior to deleting my account?
    This is a copyright violation in most cases unless the music is free of that or the license allows it.
    You should deauthorize the iTunes account in the User accounts being deleted, copy protected iTMS content won't play on his account. iTMS music is not copy protected but there is a 5 machine/device limit.
    You can transfer music and other files to his account through the Finder > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > His account > Public > Dropbox that will change the user permissions on the files.
    Any iTMS purchased content is digitally signed with your personal information embedded into the files themselves.
    If your nephew goes and P2P's your files, you could be held liable for copyright infringement.
    If the music files are cd rips, then there is a good chance they are not digitally signed, however Apple might have done something to the files in the background to assist the RIAA against piracy.
    There is a 5 device limit to iTMS content, so technically since he's family you can control that and it's included in the iTMS content license, but that doesn't apply to cd rips.
    He might not like your music anyway and then seek to share it to get more he does like. So it depends upon the skill level of your nephew if he will do that or not.
    Set up his account on the machine, maintain dual accounts until it's all set up, then log into his and delete your account.

  • Custom task (uc_task_custom)? how is the best way to implement intention

    Hello all,
    i would like to tell you our intention. We want to calculate Capital Charge.  Thius means we want to read a couple of records from transactional cube (differing e.g. on item) then do a calculation, then write it back as one record (new item) into the transactional cube. The Custom method is not enough to ful fill the requirements because it can be used just for status monitor updating. Does anyone have a suggestion how to implemet this. Thanks in advance,
    Murat

    I did not use any BPS or IP planning functions; that might be an approach, but I've never worked with either application.  The calculation, in my case, was done in ABAP.
    I don't have access to a BCS system at the moment, but I believe there is documentation and an example of how to implment the UC_TASK_CUSTOM BAdI delivered with the system.  Check the BAdI in SE18 and see if there is an example class listed.  I seem to remember CL_IM_EX_UC_TASK_CUSTOM or something similar. 
    There is also the documentation in the BAdI which explains exactly which importing/exporting parameters exist.  IT_SEL will include things like group currency, period, year, FYV, cons group, company, etc.  ET_MESSAGE will determine the cons monitor status when you are finished.  You can show additional results on the screen (like a regular BCS task would produce), but you need to write your own ALV.  I don't believe it is possible for this list to be available with the "last log" functionality though (I could never find a way, at least).
    uc_task_custom method is only to change status monitor
    I would disagree.  The exporting parameters, as mentioned above, determine the monitor status.  But it's also an entry point for you to develop whatever you need to meet your requirements.  Need to have a document approval process for manual documents?  You can write a custom task for that.  Need to post equity pickups back to the GL?  You could write a custom task to call an RFC or BAPI in ECC and do that.  Need to export results from from the BCS virtual cube to a flat file, basic cube, or an end user's PC?  I'd write a custom task.  Custom Document?  Custom Task.
    The issue becomes that greater development effort is required to create a custom task, than to customize a reclassification or an open hub.  If the standard functionality does not meet your requirements though, you can either change the requirements or hire a developer to implement them.
