Default Home Pages
There is probably a simple solution for this, buttttt .....
I've noticed that under "WEB-INF/pages" there is a "default-page.psml" file
that becomes the "home" page for anyone who navigates to "jetspeed/portal"
using the default configuration. I've also noticed that "default-page.psml"
is not the first page in the portal .... it appears that the portal builds
its page links alphabetically if no document order is specified in the
"folder.metadata" file in any given folder. So my first question is this
... How/where does jetspeed know that the "default-page.psml" should be
rendered first? ... even though it is not the first page in the folder
order???
I've also noticed that there are subfolder for some security roles using the
convention "_role/manager, _role/user" etc. I'm assuming these folders are
meant to contain default home pages for users who log in and belong to those
roles? Is that correct? If so, it doesn't seem to be working. I put a
security constraint on the "default-page.psml" file in the root folder to
only allow "<roles>guest</roles>" and was hoping somehow jetspeed would
"redirect" a user who logs in to an alternate home page in the subfolder
with for the appropriate role/user ... no luck. Is this how it's supposed
to work or am I dreaming???
Any ideas/hints/ridicules appreciated. Thanks. :-)

Re: users/roles/groups creation and saving
Posted by Marina <pp...@yahoo.com>.
David, thanks a lot for your help!
After looking more closely at the HSQL DB scripts and
the populate DB scripts I was able to create a bare
minimum custom script for my portal.
I thought I'd share this with the group on case it
might help somebody to do the same:
Here is a minimal script to create a new user, new
role and assign the role to the user:
INSERT INTO SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
VALUES(54,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.InternalRolePrincipalImpl',false,true,'/role/dce-admin-role','2005-02-02
15:02:54.171','2005-02-02 15:02:54.171')
INSERT INTO SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
VALUES(56,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.InternalUserPrincipalImpl',false,true,'/user/dce-admin','2005-02-02
15:03:27.624','2005-02-02 15:03:27.64')
INSERT INTO SECURITY_CREDENTIAL
VALUES(53,56,'some_password',0,'org.apache.jetspeed.security.spi.impl.DefaultPasswordCredentialImpl',false,false,true,0,false,'2005-02-02
15:03:27.64','2005-02-02
15:03:27.64',NULL,NULL,'2005-04-03')
INSERT INTO SECURITY_USER_ROLE VALUES(56,54)
// not necessary if you are OK with a default
profiling rule
INSERT INTO PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC
VALUES('dce-admin','page','role-fallback')
INSERT INTO PRINCIPAL_RULE_ASSOC
VALUES('dce-admin','docset','role-fallback')
One question:
Now that I have a basic SQL script to create a new
user, I thought I could use it in a "RegisterPortlet"
where a new user could register himself by typing in
his username/password, and , as a result, the portlet
would execute the SQL script on the backend.
However, after looking at the source code of J2's
UserBrowserPortlet and UserDetailsPortlet portlets it
seems like this would not be enough - those portlets
are using J2's objects like
AuthenticationProviderProxy and others.
Could somebody clarify if that's the correct way to
go to implement a RegisterPortlet? Or would execution
of the SQL script be enough?
Thank you!

Ive been using the target maven nodbMinDeploy from /portal to deploy the
basic Jetspeed portal and security portlet app without demo apps. Note
that this goal does not populate the database.
After running nodbMinDeploy, I run my own database scripts to populate
the database, run maven goals to customize J2 to my components, and then
deploy my portlet app(s).
I think I attached those scripts to another email on this list a few
days ago. Thus I have a complete custom script for DDL and default data.

After seeing the file you will probably never use HSQL again.
I never use HSQL, not even for development.

users/roles/groups creation and saving
Posted by Marina <pp...@yahoo.com>.
Hi!
I'm trying to find an easy way to add new
users/roles/groups to J2 permanently (using HSQL DB
for now). By that I mean that I want to persist newly
created objects in the DB between upgrades of J2.
Currently, when you update and rebuild J2 from CVs,
for example, you have to run the 'maven quickStart'
goal, otherwise none of the web applications
(/jetspeed, etc.) get deployed into the Tomcat.
Unfortunately, this goal also wipes out your DB clean
and you have to re-create all your custom
users/groups/roles...
After going through this (painful, if you have many
users) exercise a few times, I decided to write my own
version of the populate-default-db.sql - kind of
script.
The problem is that I'm not sure what are dependences
between all tables and it was not that easy to find
what tables changed after you add, say, a new user
since you don't really know which tables you should be
monitoring.
Because of that, I have a few questions:
1. could somebody complete my list of tables that have
to be modified when use create custom users and roles
and want to tie them together?
So far I have:
to create a new role:
PREFS_NODE
SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
to create a new user and assign the new role to it:
SECURITY_PRINCIPAL
PRINCIPAL_ROLE_ASSOC
SECURITY_USER_ROLE
SECURITY_USER_GROUP
This actually does not work - I guess I missed a few
tables...
2. Is there a way to save a 'snapshot' of a working DB
with all new objects and use that in a new J2
installation?
3. if all else fails, where is the actual data for the
HSQL DB stored? Maybe I could use some kind of 'diff'
on it after I add a new user ...
Thank you!
Marina

Frank:
Your scenario is typical. Check out the subsite demo in the cvs HEAD:
login as subsite/subsite and then as subsite2/subsite2. This is just to
give you some food for thought... you will no doubt need some
combination of different Profiler implementation approaches. There are
recent descriptions of this subsite configuration in the dev mail list.
Archives for the user and dev lists can be located in a few different
places... I use: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/

Thanks Randy. Let's see ... I currently have a corporate web site that has
general info on my company (about us, contact us, history, etc) ... I've
made that my "public" psml page. So as per your suggestion, I'll try and
place the psml for this page under the "/pages/_user/guest/" folder.
Somewhere in the layout of that page, I also have a login portlet. Now when
a "guest" user logs in (and the role changes), I need the user to be routed
to a sub-site (with its own distinct decorators/layouts/portlets) custom
tailored to that user's "role". For example, I have several basic user
classes ... customer, marketing, sales, csr, administrator, etc. I'd like
to have a distinct subsite for each of these roles. Each subsite should
have a distinct look 'n feel ... so implementing these subsites as
"subfolder" links off some "root" portal is not an option ... the subsite
should "be" the new "root" folder once a user logs in. Of course its not
that simple ... some users (owners), may have multiple "roles" (ie: sales &
marketing). In those cases, I'd like to map the user either to a subsite
that provides a combo view of the role's portlets ... or provide some kind
of "default" role based on the log in. In other words have the user mapped
to the role with the highest privileges. Make sense ... or I am rambling?
PS: Sorry about not reading through the email archive for J2, that usually
the first thing I do before posting a question ... but I couldn't find a
link to it off the portals web site. Does an email archive even exist for
jetspeed 2?

Frank,
There are many "nice" ways to accomplish this with J2 using the Profiler.
Custom home pages per user, group, or role are easily supported. One can
also select different home pages using different profiling rules. Once
you get used to using the profiler, it is fairly powerful and flexible.
In your scenario, I'd suggest placing the "public" home page in

you wish to use, you can also place other home pages in

profiling in the J2 demo site... default page profiling is treated the

RE: Default Home Pages
Posted by Frank Villarreal <f_...@tetco.com>.
Thanks for the response Scott. Does anyone know if there is currently a way
to configure jetspeed 2 to use a different subsite (subfolder) or a
different <default-page> once a user logs in? In other words, I'd like to
have a "public" psml default page ... and then route the user to either a
subsite or a different default-page based on their identity (aka: role,
user, group, etc) once they've logged in. So far, I haven't been able to
figure out a "nice" way to make j2 do this .... it seems that once a user
logs in, they are simply routed back to the "same" default-page specified in

Hi Frank,
Here is an example of both specifying document order and overriding the
default page (this is defined the folder.metadata).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<folder>
<default-page>home.psml</default-page>
<document-order>marketing.ds</document-order>
<document-order>news.ds</document-order>
<document-order>products.ds</document-order>
<document-order>tools.ds</document-order>
<document-order>training.ds</document-order>
<document-order>solidedge_main.psml</document-order>
<document-order>solid-edge.link</document-order>
<document-order>solid-edge-release-info.link</document-order>
</folder>

Subject: Default Home Pages
There is probably a simple solution for this, buttttt .....
I've noticed that under "WEB-INF/pages" there is a "default-page.psml" file
that becomes the "home" page for anyone who navigates to "jetspeed/portal"
using the default configuration. I've also noticed that "default-page.psml"
is not the first page in the portal .... it appears that the portal builds
its page links alphabetically if no document order is specified in the
"folder.metadata" file in any given folder. So my first question is this
... How/where does jetspeed know that the "default-page.psml" should be
rendered first? ... even though it is not the first page in the folder
order???
I've also noticed that there are subfolder for some security roles using the
convention "_role/manager, _role/user" etc. I'm assuming these folders are
meant to contain default home pages for users who log in and belong to those
roles? Is that correct? If so, it doesn't seem to be working. I put a
security constraint on the "default-page.psml" file in the root folder to
only allow "<roles>guest</roles>" and was hoping somehow jetspeed would
"redirect" a user who logs in to an alternate home page in the subfolder
with for the appropriate role/user ... no luck. Is this how it's supposed
to work or am I dreaming???
Any ideas/hints/ridicules appreciated. Thanks. :-)
