To build the combo box of user folders, you can use the PageManager
service:
Folder subsiteFolder = pageManager.getFolder("/_user");
NodeSet set = pageManager.getFolders(subsiteFolder);
if (set != null && !set.isEmpty())
{
Iterator setIterator = set.iterator();
while (setIterator.hasNext())
{
Folder f = (Folder)setIterator.next();
...
}
}
As for the Admin user to view any folder, there is an open issue on that
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-675
that I can hopefully resolve soon

Hi Ramaiah,
I think you can use the following method of org.apache.jetspeed.statistics.PortalStatistics:
- public DataSource getDataSource();
I think this method is designed for clustered environments like yours.
And, the USER_STATISTICS table can be queried like the following:
mysql> select * from user_statistics;
+----------------+-----------+---------------------+--------+--------------+
| IPADDRESS | USER_NAME | TIME_STAMP | STATUS | ELAPSED_TIME |
+----------------+-----------+---------------------+--------+--------------+
<Skipped>
| 127.0.0.1 | test1 | 2007-07-27 20:17:34 | 1 | 0 |
| 127.0.0.1 | test1 | 2007-07-27 20:18:11 | 2 | 61859 |
| 127.0.0.1 | guest | 2007-07-27 20:18:11 | 1 | 0 |
+----------------+-----------+---------------------+--------+--------------+
231 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The value for STATUS column can be 1 for log-in-events or 2 for log-out-events.
The ELAPSED_TIME column seems meaningful only when the clustered system supports sticky sessions.
(I think your environment is in this category.)

Woonsan

Restricting Logged in Users across Jetspeed Instances
Posted by "Ramaiah, Rajaram A K" <ra...@hp.com>.
Hello,
We need to restrict the user sessions for our application to a
configured value. But, we have two jetspeed (2.1) servers configured to
access a common database server. We tried to use the PortalStatistics
object to get the logged in user session but it returns only the local
jetspeed instance-specific logged in users, even though we enabled
'logToDatabase' flag to 'true'.
1) How do we get list of users logged in across jetspeed instances?
2) Can the issue be sovled by moving to Jetspeed clustering? How easy is
it to setup the Jetspeed cluster?
Regards,
Rajaram

RE: Selective Session Timout Functionality
Posted by "Ramaiah, Rajaram A K" <ra...@hp.com>.
Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
Sure, I'll raise this question at the Tomcat list. Regarding another
feature (hard timeout), I'm already planning to use it as a workaround
as it solves the problem of indefinitely live session due to the refresh
activity. It's possible that a user logs in and clicks on the page which
refreshes perdiocally and forgets to logout. In this case, hard timeout
should help to some extent.
Regards,
Rajaram

Jetspeed's session timeout is based on the servlet container's session
timeout configuration Every time you make a request to the context, the
session inactivity timer is reset by the servlet container, not Jetspeed
I don't know of anyway to tell the servlet container to differentiate
between a javascript request and user interaction, but this does seem
like a very useful case Perhaps its a question you can ask on the Tomcat
list There is another feature in Jetspeed that will logout a user after
a configured number of seconds, regardless of their activity, but this
is not exactly what you require either

Selective Session Timout Functionality
Posted by "Ramaiah, Rajaram A K" <ra...@hp.com>.
Hello,
Our Jetspeed 2.1.2 based portal application requires the following
functionality:
We have a page (URL) that gets refreshed periodically based on a timer
set in the javascript. Now, we don't want this activity (GET URL) to be
considered as a session activity which means that the session timeout
value should NOT be reset. The user should be logged out if he/she does
not perform any operation on the portal application for more than the
configured session timeout value, even though the page gets refreshed
periodically.
Appreciate any help to implement this functionality.
Regards,
Rajaram

RE: Rendering Folders
Posted by "Ramaiah, Rajaram A K" <ra...@hp.com>.
Thanks David.
We are able to achieve the same by just rendering a psml file in a
folder. Jetspeed renders the 'tab' for all the psmls in the folder and
also the content of the requested psml i.e. the requested psml has been
made as the active page. Please let me know if this is the expected
behaviour of jetspeed. I hope this behaviour will not be treated as a
bug :-)
We have created a 'non-profiled' folder (duplicate of the _role folder)
to switch to a role-specific view as an admin user. This is only a
workaround. But, hope to get the fix as you mentioned.
Regards,
Rajaram
