Using Identity Management API with User class that has other required fields

[hermida.leandro.hermida.gmail.com]

Hello,

If the user-class I reference in <security:jpa-identity-store> in components.xml has other required fields that need to be set when a new user is created beyond username, passwordHash, firstName, lastName, how do I pass these to identityManager.createUser()?  Otherwise this method call fails because Hibernate Validator throws and error for other @NotNull fields.

Write an observer for JpaIdentityStore.EVENT_PRE_PERSIST_USER (see section 15.4.2.4.1 in the security chapter).

Hi and thanks again Shane

Sorry again I did miss that lot's of stuff in the ref docs.  It works perfectly, for other newbies out there I simply put a method inside the appropriate session bean (in my case RegisterActionImpl.java) which looks like this:

@Observer(JpaIdentityStore.EVENT_PRE_PERSIST_USER)
public void prePersistUserEvent(User prePersistedUser) {
    prePersistedUser.setEmail(registerUser.getEmail());
    // other required fields can be set here too
}

where registerUser is a local field with getter/setter that was backing the form (i.e. #{registerAction.registerUser.email}, etc).

Hello Leandro (are you Brazilian ?)

here in http://www.seamframework.org/Community/IdentityManagerUsefulForNonDefaultUseCase i asked the same thing you did, but i couldn't solve it, yet.

i want an email field in my user form, so i coded in userdetail.xhtml

<h:outputLabel for="userEmail" value="Email" styleClass="formLabel"/>
<h:inputText id="userEmail" value="#{userEmail}" readonly="#identityManager.userExists(userAction.username)}"/>
<h:message for="userEmail" styleClass="validationError"/>

and in my User.java

public String getEmail() { return email; }
public void setEmail(String email) { this.email = email; }

@Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.management.prePersistUser")
public void onPrePersist(User prePersistedUser) {
   prePersistedUser.setEmail(#####);
}

@Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.management.userCreated")
public void onUserCreated(User user) {

}

As you may have noted, i don't know how to get the email value, since i invented this field (named userEmail) in the xhtml (naturally userAction.email doesn't exist). Should i declare userEmail somewhere ?

Thanks,
Thiago
