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
