Method Detail

createProfileIdentity

public static ProfileIdentity createProfileIdentity(String username,
                                                    String groupname)

Create a ProfileIdentity object. This can later be used to create a ProfileWrapper, or simply to identify a profile.

Parameters:

username - the username of the profile

groupname - the groupname of the profile

Returns:

a ProfileIdentity created from the specified name(s).

getProfile

public static ProfileWrapper getProfile(String username,
                                        String groupname)
                                 throws RemoteException,
                                        ProfileNotFoundException

Create a ProfileWrapper for the given username and groupname. One or the other may be null, but not both. If the username is null, the ProfileWrapper will access the group's profile. If the groupname is null, it will access the user's profile with no default explicit successor. If both are provided, it will access the user's profile and use the provided groupname as an explicit successor when calling the ProfileManager.

Parameters:

username - the username of the profile

groupname - the groupname of the profile

Returns:

an initialized ProfileWrapper

Throws:

ProfileNotFoundException - if the given identity(ies) do not exist

RemoteException

getProfile

public static ProfileWrapper getProfile(ProfileIdentity id)
                                 throws RemoteException,
                                        ProfileNotFoundException

Create a ProfileWrapper for the given ProfileIdentity. The id can have a username, a groupname, or both. If the username is null, the ProfileWrapper will access the group's profile. If the groupname is null, it will access the user's profile with no default explicit successor. If both are provided, it will access the user's profile and use the provided groupname as an explicit successor when calling the ProfileManager.

Returns:

an initialized ProfileWrapper

Throws:

ProfileNotFoundException - if the given identity(ies) do not exist

RemoteException

createAnonymousProfile

public static AnonymousProfileWrapper createAnonymousProfile()

Create a new AnonymousProfileWrapper with no possibility of being tracked. When this ctor is used, we cannot track anonymous users; we need a session.
