Getting the Role Title

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I developed one WD application which browses all the Roles in EP. I am using the code given by Prakash Singh in his weblog on Browsing through Roles,Worksets,Pages and Iviews. In his weblog /people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/07/28/browse-roles-folders-pages-iviews-assigned-to-a-user-ep6-sp9-and-higher he was not mentioned how to get the Role Title, but he had given the code to get description and Display name of a Role using role.getDescription()and role.getDisplayName().

Is there any method to get the Title of a Role in the EP.? If yes, Could you please respond to this thread.

Thank you in advance,

What do u mean by 'Title of a Role'?

Hi Denish,

"Title of Role" is name of a role displayed in the browser.

I am using the following code to get the name of a role

try{

IPcdContext targetObject = (IPcdContext)initialContext.lookup(browsing_root);

Object object = (Object)targetObject.getAttributes("").get("com.sap.portal.pcm.Title");

if(object instanceof IPcdAttribute){

IPcdAttribute att = (IPcdAttribute)object;

objtitle = att.get().toString();

}

} catch (NamingException e) {

msgMgr.reportSuccess(e.toString());

e.printStackTrace();

}

It is throwing ClassCastException at the first line.

How can I get over this classcastexception.

Thank you,

in a blog there is such code:

IRole r = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole(rolestr);

to get title u can use:

r.getDescription();

Hi,

I am using the method r.getDescription() in my application but it is giving the description of the role instead of title.

Hi Sandeep,

Can you please mention what database you are using to get the roles?

Hi Anil,

Here I am not using any database. I am using the same code which was given in the link mentioned in my thread. For this I am using security.api.*. The only thing I want is getting the title of a role instead of display name, unique name and description.

Thank you,
