*** 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...]
