*** NOT ADF - Glassfish custom login module

Step 1) Write your custom module - there are enough examples out there - I used (http://x-techteam.blogspot.com/2008/03/glassfish-login-module-simple-example.html)
Step 2) Add to login.conf [glassfish location]\glassfish\domains\[domain name]\config
yourRealm{
    za.co.jaas.realm.YourLoginModule required;
};

Step 3) Admin console setup
  • Goto admin console : http://localhost:4848 and Login
  • Goto Cconfigurations\[Your config]\Security\Realms
  • Click new button
  • ClassName: za.co.jaas.realm.YourRealm (choose second custom radio button)
  • Name:     yourRealm
  • Press the ok button
BIG BIG NOTE: (Save yourself hours of time)
Tick Default Principal To Role Mapping in configurations\[Your config]\Security\ and save
stop glassfish
REDEPLOY APPLICATION
start glasfish

NOTE : When writing a startup script please remeber to start db before start of Assfish otherwise you will have some strange funky errors.

    I recommend to package and deploy the CustomRealm as an OSGi module. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4526674/custom-glassfish-security-realm-does-not-work-unable-to-find-loginmodule for details.

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date). So I wanted to do something simple so that I did not have to create all these screens 1) EO   I created the EO based on one of the tables I had that had the above columns. I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]

ADF: LOV Description instead of code

I keep on forgetting how to do this so this is a note to self in terms I understand (ie pictures): Add the related entiy object to yours (in the example we are adding RegionEO(list of values) to CountryEO) Now add the RegionName field from the EO and a transient attribute (I named mine RegionNameLOV) Make the transient attribute updateable and base it on the expression RegionName (the description you wish to display) Add a list of values to RegionNameLOV and map BOTH key to parent fk (region id here) AND RegionName to your transient coulmn (RegionNameLOV).  Map the transient as an Input text with List of Values. Then just drag the lov item onto the page (RegionNameLOV)
