Redirect portal

[peris]

How to redirect the user to particular portal based on their roles.
ex: admin role redirect to adminportal, user role redirect to userportal,etc. If you have any idea please share with me. Thanks in advance

Hi,

my idea (implemented in my project) was to extend DefaultPortalCommandFactory and SignOutURLFactory to change the page/URL to redirect to role default page. The two factoris replace the standard factories CommandFactory and SignOutURLFactory.

For example, the redirect to home factory is something like this :


public class RedirectHomeFactory extends DefaultPortalCommandFactory {

/** Log */
private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(RedirectHomeFactory.class);

/** Slash */
private static final String SLASH = "/";

/** Mapping */
private Properties mapping;

/**
* Get mapping
* @return Mapping
*/
public Properties getMapping() {
return mapping;
}

/**
* Set mapping
* @param mapping Mapping
*/
public void setMapping(Properties mapping) {
this.mapping = mapping;
}

/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
@Override
public ControllerCommand doMapping(ControllerContext context, ServerInvocation serverInvocation, String host, String contextPath, String requestPath) {
// Command
ControllerCommand command = null;
// Get http request and check roles
HttpServletRequest request = serverInvocation.getServerContext().getClientRequest();

// Redirect only if portal is not specified
if (requestPath != null && (requestPath.trim().length() == 0 || requestPath.trim().equals(SLASH))) {
// Flag
boolean found = false;
// Role
String role = null;

// Get roles
Enumeration enumeration = mapping.keys();

while (!found && enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
// Get role
role = (String) enumeration.nextElement();

// Check role
if (request.isUserInRole(role)) {
// Get portal and page of role
String[] portalAndPage = mapping.getProperty(role).split(SLASH);

if (portalAndPage == null || portalAndPage.length < 2) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Wrong portal/page for role " + role);
}

// Get portal
Portal portal = getContainer().getContext().getPortal(portalAndPage[0]);

if (portal == null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Default portal does not exist");
}

// Get default page
Page page = portal.getPage(portalAndPage[1]);

if (page == null) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Default page does not exist");
}

// Log
LOG.debug("Redirect to " + portal.getName() + " " + page.getName());

command = new ViewPageCommand(page.getId());
found = true;
}
}

if (!found) {
// Log
LOG.debug("Default redirect, no mapped role");

// Default command
command = super.doMapping(context, serverInvocation, host, contextPath, requestPath);
}
} else {
// Log
LOG.debug("Default redirect");

// Default command
command = super.doMapping(context, serverInvocation, host, contextPath, requestPath);
}

return command;
}

}



and the mbean that replace the standard portal mbean :


<!-- Redirect to user home -->
<mbean code="com.yourcompany.RedirectHomeFactory"
name="portal:commandFactory=RedirectHome" xmbean-dd=""
xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.jems.as.system.JBossServiceModelMBean">


role=portal/default

<depends optional-attribute-name="NextFactory" proxy-type="attribute">portal:commandFactory=Delegating
<depends optional-attribute-name="Container" proxy-type="attribute">portal:container=PortalObject



you have to change the portal mbean controller properties :


<!--
<depends
optional-attribute-name="CommandFactory"
proxy-type="attribute">portal:commandFactory=DefaultPortal

-->
<depends
optional-attribute-name="CommandFactory"
proxy-type="attribute">portal:commandFactory=RedirectHome




For the signout the code is the same :


public class SignOutFactory extends SignOutURLFactory {

/** Log */
private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(SignOutFactory.class);

/** Location */
private static final String LOCATION = "location";

/** Mapping */
private Properties mapping;

/**
* Get mapping
* @return Mapping
*/
public Properties getMapping() {
return mapping;
}

/**
* Set mapping
* @param mapping Mapping
*/
public void setMapping(Properties mapping) {
this.mapping = mapping;
}

/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
@Override
public ServerURL doMapping(ControllerContext context, ServerInvocation serverInvocation, ControllerCommand controllerCommand) {
// URL
ServerURL serverURL = super.doMapping(context, serverInvocation, controllerCommand);

if (serverURL != null) {
// Get http request and check roles
HttpServletRequest request = serverInvocation.getServerContext().getClientRequest();

// Flag
boolean found = false;
// Role
String role = null;

// Get roles
Enumeration enumeration = mapping.keys();

while (!found && enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
// Get role
role = (String) enumeration.nextElement();

// Check role
if (request.isUserInRole(role)) {
// Get location for role
try {
serverURL.setParameterValue(LOCATION, URLEncoder.encode(mapping.getProperty(role), "UTF-8"));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException encEx) {
LOG.error("Unsupported encoding " + encEx);
}

found = true;
}
}
}

return serverURL;
}

}


the mbean :


<!-- Redirect to user login -->
<mbean code="yourcompany.SignOutFactory"
name="portal:urlFactory=SignOut" xmbean-dd=""
xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.jems.as.system.JBossServiceModelMBean">


role=portal/YourPortal

/signout
<depends optional-attribute-name="Factory" proxy-type="attribute">portal:urlFactory=Delegating



and comment out the portal signout mbean :


<!--
<mbean
code="org.jboss.portal.core.controller.command.mapper.SignOutURLFactory"
name="portal:urlFactory=SignOut"
xmbean-dd=""
xmbean-code="org.jboss.portal.jems.as.system.JBossServiceModelMBean">

/signout
<depends
optional-attribute-name="Factory"
proxy-type="attribute">portal:urlFactory=Delegating


-->


This solution redirects to default role portal only if the user doesn't specify the complete URL, to prevent users to go to another portal you have to add security-constraint into your portal-object.xml file.

Sorry, but mbean xml config files are not properly rendered, but if you see the html page source you should be able to extract them
