SVN: Subversion apache configuration smackdown

All I wanted out of life was to authenticate off Active Directory, have everyone with a valid user be able to read my svn repo and have a build user defined in a file for my Continuos integration (Non active directory user) and have a couple of AD users have read/write permissions sounds simple but maybe not so much.

This is my config file (in /etc/httpd/conf.d):
<AuthnProviderAlias ldap adf-ldap-alias>
#ldap config make sure the DN config is correct and the server is right
  AuthLDAPURL "ldap://adserver.co.za:3268/OU=User Accounts,DC=company,DC=co,DC=za?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE
  AuthLDAPBindDN "svnuser@company.co.za"
  AuthLDAPBindPassword supersecret
</AuthnProviderAlias>

<AuthnProviderAlias file adf-file-alias>
#setup this file using  htpasswd
  AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/adf-auth-file
</AuthnProviderAlias>

<Location /adfrepo>
  DAV svn
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "ADF Subversion Repository"
#this is where the magic happens for using two providers
  AuthBasicProvider adf-ldap-alias adf-file-alias
#Permissions that dont use AD Groups
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/subversion/adf-authz
#path to your new repo
  SVNPath /usr/local/svn/adf
  Require valid-user
</Location>

Example of /etc/subversion/adf-authz (* = r means everybody has read access)

[groups]
svnAdf = usr1, usr2, bob

[:/]
@svnAdf = rw

[/]
* = r
@svnAdf = rw


Some nifty commands
#add a build user to the auth file
htpasswd -cmd /etc/subversion/adf-auth-file builduser

#copy old repo to new repo
svnsync init http://newsvn.company.co.za/adf http://oldsvn.company.co.za/svn/adf
svnsync sync file:///usr/local/svn/adf
svnadmin setuuid /usr/local/svn/adf
 

#create the new repo with correct permissions
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/adf
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /usr/local/svn/adf
chown -R svnadmin /usr/local/svn/adf
chgrp -R apache /usr/local/svn/adf
chmod -R g+w /usr/local/svn/adf

pre commit hook to enforce comments
$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null || { echo "Please enter a comment before you commit." >& 2; exit 1; }

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)
