Ah! thanks. I remembered I had two method back then.
/**
* Updates an existing user
* @param user the user with the profile attributes
* @param generatePassword whether to generate password or not
* @return the generatedPassword
*/
public String updateUser(User user,boolean generatePassword) {
String generatedPassword=null;
if(user.getPassword()!=null){
generatedPassword = new String(user.getPassword());
}
String methodName = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName();
AdminMgr adMgr = createAndGetAdminMgr();
try {
if(generatePassword){
generatedPassword = generateRandomPassword();
user.setPassword(generatedPassword.toCharArray());
}
adMgr.updateUser(user);
} catch (SecurityException e) {
logger.error("[" + methodName + "]" + "A system exception was
encountered while updating a user", e);
throw new RuntimeException("Unable to update the user", e );
}
return generatedPassword;
}
