trying to setup resource-based ACLs

[Hiral Matalia <Hi...@bjss.com>]

Hi,

I am quite new to Jackrabbit.
I am trying to set "ALL" Privileges for the user who is creator/owner of the node.
Using Resource based ACL.
I understand that I need to have Principal for that user.
I got below code snippet

JackrabbitSession js = (JackrabbitSession) session;
        PrincipalManager pMgr = js.getPrincipalManager();
        Principal principal = pMgr.getPrincipal(user);

        AccessControlUtils.addAccessControlEntry(session,
                resNode.getPath(),
                principal,
                new String[] { Privilege.JCR_ALL },
                true);
    }

In above user is username , say testUser.
I am getting Principal as null :(
I am not sure what am I missing here, what do I need to do with PrincipalManger to get Principal for particular user who is creator/owner.

Any pointers or help is really appreciated.

Thanks !
Hiral

Hi Hiral,

If the 'user' variable has the user Id as a String, you could try the
following to get the Principal:

JackrabbitSession js = (JackrabbitSession) session;
UserManager userMgr = session.getUserManager();
Authorizable user = userMgr.getAuthorizable(userId);
Principal principal = user.getPrincipal();

You can then use the principal object with AccessControlUtils.

Hope this helps.
Anuj
