adding a role in role-based PSML [J1]

[Archana Turaga]

Hi,

 I changed my property files to do role-based. When I login as
"admin/jetspeed" and add a new role. Assign a user to this new role only
(the user is not mapped to any other roles) and login as that user I get
the message "Error retrieving profile". 

 

I looked at the JetspeedProfilerService code and I see this line of code
:

 

public Profile createProfile(RunData data, Profile profile)

            throws ProfileException

    {

        Profile current = null;

        CapabilityMap map;

 

        if (data == null)

        {

            map = CapabilityMapFactory.getDefaultCapabilityMap();

        }

        else

        {

            map = ((JetspeedRunData)data).getCapability();

        }

        String mediaType = getMediaType(data, map);

 

        // if template is null then use role-based psml

        if (newUserTemplate == null)

            return current;

 

        if (mediaTypes != null)

        {

            Profile dummy;

            for (int ix=0; ix < mediaTypes.length; ix++)

            {

                dummy = createProfile(data, profile, mediaTypes[ix],
newUserTemplate);

                System.out.println ("Dummy:"+dummy+":"+mediaType);

                if (mediaTypes[ix].equalsIgnoreCase(mediaType))

                    current = dummy;

            }

        }

        return current;

    }

 

The new user template will be null since for role-based we need to set
the property to nothing. This almost seems like a bug since if a new
role is added what profiles should get assigned? Is that true? Has
anybody else come across the same issue? 

Any reply would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
