[TIP]-Getting Uses Group Names Efficiently

Question

We were having trouble getting the names of the groups that a user belonged to. We could easily get the object ID's but getting the name for each group was very slow issuing single row queries. Anyway we are able to query group memberships efficiently using a queryfilter.
Here is a code snippet in Java:
public ArrayList getUserGroupNames ()
throws MalformedURLException, RemoteException, NotInRequestException
ArrayList groupNames = new ArrayList();
IRemoteSession remoteSession = edk.getRemotePortalSession();
//Get array of group object Id's that the user belongs too.
int[] groupIdArray = remoteSession.getUserManager().getCurrentUserGroups();
//Issue a query on the object Id's to get their names
ObjectProperty[] op = {UserGroupProperty.SimpleName};
QueryFilter[] qf = {new IntArrayQueryFilter(ObjectProperty.ObjectID, Operator.In, groupIdArray)};
IObjectQuery ioq = remoteSession.getUserGroupManager().queryObjects(-1, 0, -1, ObjectProperty.ObjectID, true, op, qf);
for (int i = 0; i < ioq.getRowCount(); i++)
groupNames.add(ioq.getRow(i).getStringValue(UserGroupProperty.SimpleName));
return groupNames;
Hope this is usefull to others.

Hi,
You can still add 50 addresses to the group in the paid version and test it without sending it. After adding all contacts to the group, click on the group name and it should launch the Mail application with all recipient's email addresses populated in the respective To, CC or BCC fields. You can touch the CC or BCC fields and it will expand the list containing all the addresses.
Since you dont wan't to send the email, you can just cancel out of the operation after verifying if all the email addresses are being populated.
