Here is a quick example of calling the Unique Value Finder from within the User Application. Done on 3.7.
In this example the desire is to generate a unique value that is prefixed by a "C". (Like C421)
The parameters passed are:
- attributeForUniqueValue - willekeUcode
- preFix - "C"
- startValue - 100
- maxLength - 6
- maxTries - 100000
- counterPad - false
- useAlpha - false
- dummy - dummy
This is an example call:
function getCN() {
v = Packages.com.willeke.util.uniqueName.UniqueValueFinder.findUniqueValue("CN", "C","100","6","100000","false","false","dummy");
return v.toString();
}
getCN();
!!User Application 3.7
We have been informed that the proper places that the jar and the property files can go are:
- inside the WAR in the WEB-INF/lib folder that is what the documentation says.
- will also work if you put it in the IDMprov/lib or IDM/lib depending on what is your context for the WAR.
- We prefer the IDM/lib path because that way you don't need to open the WAR file.
When we last implemented this class we used:
- The Unique Value Finder Jar files go in /opt/novell/idm/jboss/server/IDM/lib
- The Unique Value Finder Properties file goes in /opt/novell/idm/jboss/server/IDM/conf/props
