Operations

This section describes the following operations:


advance

Advances the list to the next element in the list.

   
Operation Name"advance"
ParametersObject [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns void

Exceptions

close

Indicates that the caller is finished using the list, and that the resources held on behalf of the list may be released. If the caller traverses through all the elements in the list, the caller need not call this method. In other words, it is used to let the caller close the list without reading each element that is returned.

   
Operation Name"close"
ParametersObject [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns void

Exceptions

getCurrentName

The name of the current item in the list. Returns null if there is no current item.

   
Operation Name"getCurrentName"
ParametersObject [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
ReturnsString

Exceptions

getGroupDescription

Gets a group's description.

   
Operation Name"getGroupDescription"
ParametersObject [] {  groupName }

where:

  • groupName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The name of an existing group.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
ReturnsString

Exceptions

groupExists

Indicates whether the specified group exists.

   
Operation Name"groupExists"
ParametersObject [] {  groupName }

where:

  • groupName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The name that this method evaluates.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns boolean

Exceptions

haveCurrent

Returns true if there are more objects in the list, and false otherwise.

   
Operation Name"haveCurrent"
ParametersObject [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns boolean

Exceptions

isMember

Indicates whether a user or group is a member of the group that you specify. A recursive search returns true if the member belongs to the group that you specify or to any of the groups contained within that group."

   
Operation Name"isMember"
ParametersObject [] {  parentGroupNamememberUserOrGroupNamerecursive }

where:

  • parentGroupName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The existing group within which this method searches for membership.

  • memberUserOrGroupName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The user or group name for which this method searches.

  • recursive is an object of type java.lang.Boolean that specifies:

    - If set to true, the criteria for membership extends to any groups within the group that is specified by parentGroupName.

    If this argument is set to false, then this method checks only for direct membership within the parentGroupName.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String", "java.lang.String", "java.lang.Boolean" }
Returns boolean

Exceptions

listGroupMembers

Searches within a group for user and group (member) names that match a pattern. Returns a cursor (string). You can use methods from weblogic.management.utils.NameLister (which this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.

This method does not sort the results or distinguish user and group names. You can use the groupExists method to determine whether a name refers to an existing group.

   
Operation Name"listGroupMembers"
ParametersObject [] {  groupNamememberUserOrGroupNameWildcardmaximumToReturn }

where:

  • groupName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The existing group within which this method searches for members.

  • memberUserOrGroupNameWildcard is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The pattern for which this method searches The pattern can end with an * (asterisk) as a wildcard, which matches any string of characters. The search is not case-sensitive. ' *

    For example, a pattern of abc matches exactly one name that contains only abc, a pattern of ab* matches all user and group names that start with ab, and a pattern of * matches all user and group names.

  • maximumToReturn is an object of type java.lang.Integer that specifies:

    - The maximum number of user and group names that this method returns. If there are more matches than this maximum, then the returned results are arbitrary because this method does not sort results. If this parameter is set to 0, all results are returned.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String", "java.lang.String", "java.lang.Integer" }
ReturnsString

Exceptions

listGroups

Searches for a user name that matches a pattern.

This method returns a cursor that you can pass to the methods from weblogic.management.utils.NameListerMBean (which this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.

This method does not sort the results.

   
Operation Name"listGroups"
ParametersObject [] {  groupNameWildcardmaximumToReturn }

where:

  • groupNameWildcard is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    -

    The pattern for which this method searches. The pattern can end with an * (asterisk) as a wildcard, which matches any string of characters. The search is not case-sensitive.

    For example, a pattern of abc matches exactly one group name that contains only abc, a pattern of ab* matches all group names that start with ab, and a pattern of * matches all group names.

  • maximumToReturn is an object of type java.lang.Integer that specifies:

    - The maximum number of group names that this method returns. If there are more matches than this maximum, then the returned results are arbitrary because this method does not sort results. If the parameter is set to 0 there is no maximum and all results are returned.

SignatureString [] { "java.lang.String", "java.lang.Integer" }
ReturnsString

Exceptions
