Class SimpleUserAdapter

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.jivesoftware.base.ext.SimpleUserAdapter
All Implemented Interfaces:
IntrospectiveUser, User, Cacheable, java.io.Serializable

public abstract class SimpleUserAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements IntrospectiveUser, Cacheable

An abstract adapter class to aid in creating custom user implementations. The "set" methods in this class throw UnsupportedOperationExceptions, which means the external user store will be read-only. You should extend this class to create your own User implementation and only override the methods of interest.

If your user store doesn't support all the fields present in the User interface (such as the name visible and email visible flags), you should use hardcoded values in your implementation or load and store these values from somewhere else.

User objects have "extended properties", which is a way to allow arbitrary data to be attached to users. It's generally advisable to use the jiveUserProp table that is built into the Jive database schema to store this information. This adapter class implements all the logic necessary to load and store properties from the jiveUserProp database table.

Important note: any extensions of this class must be Serializable, or clustering will not work correctly.

Throws:
UnauthorizedException - if does not have administrator permissions.

getModificationDate

public java.util.Date getModificationDate()

Parameters:
modificationDate - the date the user was modified.
Throws:
UnauthorizedException - if does not have administrator permissions.

getProperty

public java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: User
Returns an extended property of the user. Each user can have an arbitrary number of extended properties. This lets particular skins or filters provide enhanced functionality that is not part of the base interface.

Specified by:
getProperty in interface User
Parameters:
name - the name of the property to get.
Returns:
the value of the property

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String name,
                        java.lang.String value)
                 throws UnauthorizedException
Description copied from interface: User
Sets an extended property of the user. Each user can have an arbitrary number of extended properties. This lets particular skins or filters provide enhanced functionality that is not part of the base interface. Property names and values must be valid Strings. If null or an empty length String is used, a NullPointerException will be thrown.

Specified by:
setProperty in interface User
Parameters:
name - the name of the property to set.
value - the new value for the property.
Throws:
UnauthorizedException - if not allowed to edit.

deleteProperty

public void deleteProperty(java.lang.String name)
                    throws UnauthorizedException
Description copied from interface: User
Deletes an extended property. If the property specified by name does not exist, this method will do nothing.

Specified by:
deleteProperty in interface User
Parameters:
name - the name of the property to delete.
Throws:
UnauthorizedException - if not allowed to edit.

getPropertyNames

public java.util.Iterator getPropertyNames()
Description copied from interface: User
Returns an Iterator for all the names of the extended user properties.

This method should typically be implemented as:

 if (auth.getUserID() == id) {
     return new Permissions(Permissions.USER_ADMIN);
 }
 else {
     return new Permissions(Permissions.NONE);
 }

Specified by:
getPropertyNames in interface User
Returns:
an Iterator for the property names.

isAuthorized

public boolean isAuthorized(long permissionType)
Description copied from interface: User
Returns true if the handle on the object has the permission specified. A list of possible permissions can be found in the Permissions class. Certain methods of this class are restricted to certain permissions as specified in the method comments.

Because proxy objects will implement real security checking, this method should be implemented as:
return true;
.

Specified by:
isAuthorized in interface User
Parameters:
permissionType - the permission to check for.

getPermissions

public Permissions getPermissions(AuthToken authToken)
Description copied from interface: User
