Adding roles to a group using WebDynpro java

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am developing one application to assign portal roles and users to a group at the time of new group creation using WebDynpro java coding.

So I have manage to add the users to that group but not being able to add roles to that group.

So can anyone please suggest me how to do this.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Maniak!

I guess you are using an IGroup instance. You can add an IGroup instance to a role with a known name using the IGroup.addToRole(String roleName) method. There are also methods like removeFromRole(String roleName) and getRoles(boolean recursive). If you've got the IRole instance, you can use IRole.addGroupMember(String groupName) to add a Group to the IRole instance. Funny enough, there are no methods to add an IGroup instance to an IRole instance, though...

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I am new to the WebDynpro java, So if you please give me one example for this, then it will be great for me.

Once again Thanks .

O.k., you might go with something like this (unchecked code, so be careful for typos or the like...)

IGroupFactory gf = UMFactory.getGroupFactory();
IGroup group = factory.getGroup("YourGroup.Name.GoesHere");
// if you are to create a group, use 
// IGroup group = factory.newGroup(String);
// group.save();
// Maybe you'll have to commit here:
// group.commit();
group.addToRole("YourRole.Name.GoesHere");
group.save();
group.commit();
