How to get RoleManager / setup UserManager

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 23:40:28 -0800

Ok, after spending half my weekend prowling through old archive lists I think I've found how to programmatically log in a user and manage user configurations from a stand-alone client (in theory at least).  Now if it can just get it working ...
 
First of all, what do you have to do to get an instance of RoleManager?  I've tried the code below as recommended in a couple emails, but I always get a naming exception - NameNotFoundException.  I'm guessing that I have to explicitly deploy this thing, but I don't have a clue how to since it's buried in the orion.jar file and does not contain a ejb-jar.xml file.  (Possibly, do I have to add some reference to the application-client.xml file?)   This is basically the same question as
 
RoleManager roleMgr = (RoleManager)
      (new InitialContext()).lookup( "java:comp/RoleManager" );
 
If I can get the RoleManager working properly, I'll be happy for a while.  By the way, I assume that the RoleManager is how the Orion web server manages to maintain the principal for the current user ... I'm trying to manage user sessions the same way Orion does on the web server side where a user request comes in asynchronously with a session ID, and the request gets mapped over to the proper Principal before any bean methods are called.
 
 
The other question has to do with using the User Manager.  When I add the following to my orion-application.xml I get the NamingException when it is deployed.  What is the trick to doing this?  According to one poster, the atm example demonstrated this, but I must have a different version of the atm example.
 
<user-manager class="com.evermind.ejb.EJBUserManager">
  <property name="home" value="com.evermind.ejb.EJBUser" />
  <property name="defaultGroups" value="users" />
</user-manager>"
 
 
Finally, a tutorial for usermanager stuff was started over at Orionsupport.com, but never finished.  Is there a new version of this?  Here is the url I have: http://www.orionsupport.com/tutorials/usermanager/intro.jsp
 
            Thanks,
                John

I get "Error updating application estore: Error initializing userManager
'com.evermind.
ejb.EJBUserManager': NamingException: com.evermind.ejb.EJBUser not found" when I
try it.
