Building a Dynamic List of DN strings

You can dynamically build a list of DN strings if you specify a user ID and base context.

The following example shows how to use user IDs and base context to build a dynamic list of DN strings.

The following code first defines the base context to append to users.

<Field name=’baseMemberContextContractor’>
   <Default>
      <s>ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com</s>
   </Default>
</Field>
<Field name=’baseMemberContextEmployee’>
   <Default>
      <s>ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com</s>
   </Default>
</Field>
 

The user of this form enters data in the following field. This is a likely place for providing a dynamically generated list of user IDs.

 <Field name=’userIds’>
   <Display class=’TextArea’>
      <Property name=’title’ value=’UserIds’/>
   </Display>
</Field>

The following hidden field includes logic that calculates values.

<Field name=’Members’>
   <Expansion>
      <switch>
      // Look at the role assigned to the users
      <ref>waveset.role</ref>
      <case>
      // If user has "Contractor Role" then build DN like this:
      // ex: CN=jsmith,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com
         <s>Contractor Role</s>
         <invoke name=’buildDns’ class=’com.waveset.ui.FormUtil’>
            <ref>userId</ref>
            <ref>baseMemberContextContractor</ref>
         </invoke>
      </case>
      <case>
// Otherwise, if user has "Employee Role", then build DN like this:
         // ex: CN=jdoe,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com
         s>Employee Role</s>
         <invoke name=’buildDns’ class=’com.waveset.ui.FormUtil’>
            <ref>userId</ref>
            <ref>baseMemberContextEmployee</ref>
         </invoke>
         </case>
      </switch>
   </Expansion>
</Field>
