How to get the the required unique ID from IResourceAclEntry -- High points

[lakshmi_narayana2]

All

Am writing code to create ACL's.As part of it am getting the user,groups,Roles as shown below.

umPrincipalUser = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getUser(struid);

umPrincipalGroup = WPUMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroup(struid);

umPrincipalRole = WPUMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole(struid);

String struid am getting as follows

String struid = null;

IResourceAclEntryListIterator iAclIterator = null;

IResourceAclEntry entry = null

while (iAclIterator.hasNext()){

entry = iAclIterator.next();

struid = entry.getPrincipal().getId()

}

The struid retrieved works fine for umPrincipalUser but umPrincipalGroup and umPrincipalRole returns null for the strUid.

Pl let me know what is the exact id format i should pass for Group and Role.

Immediate correct answers will be awarded with maximum points

Thanks

Hi Steve,

Why do you first call getPrincipal(), retrieve the ID of that, and then "rebuild" that principal via the WPUMFactory? If you really want that "old" (KM) IPricipals (users/groups/roles), just use

umPrincipal = entry.getPrincipal();
if (umPrincipal instanceof ...) {...

This probably could make your life easier?!

Hope it helps
