Hi,
I am trying to create an RCP application wher the user will login and then
based on his role the application functionalities are loaded.
I would like to use the equinox security implementation to do the login but
i am not sure how to load the plugin functionalities based on his role.

Here are the two approaches i thought of.

First Approach :

1. Application plugin - Login ( want to use Equinox Security )

2. Retrieve the Role of the user

3. Set the activities ( Eclipse Activity ) based on the Role.

Second Approach :

1. Application plugin - Login ( Equinox Security )

2. Retrieve the Role of the user and write the XSLT Transform files.

I do not know whether the second approach is right or not because i could nt
really get the sample xslt transform from the eclipse cvs to work and didnt
get any response from the newsgroup either.
So if anyone could throw some light on this, that will really help me
understand the Equinox Secuirty and Transform.

Thanks,
Kathir.

Check out http://eclipse-jaas.sourceforge.net/ which was looking at a
similar approach, I believe.

as for the sample transforms, in the past I was able to run them using
the instructions from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Transforms

When you try and run, which plugins are in your workspace? What does
your transform file look like?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the pointer to the eclipse-jaas , i will have a look at it.

For the XSLT Transform ,

I had the following plugins in my workspace

org.eclipse.osgi
org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hook
org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt

and my application plugin.

The xslt file had the following

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="actionSet[@id='com.seq.diagnostics.PlateActionSets]" >

<actionSet>

<xsl:attribute name="visible">true</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:copy-of select="node()|@*[not(name()='visible')]" />

</actionSet>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">

<xsl:copy>

<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>

</xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and the tranform.csv file had
com\.seq\.diagnostics,plugin\.xml,/actionSetDefault.xslt

I had the

osgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hoo k

and the start level for the xslt and my application plugin with @1\:start

But when i run the application i dont see the actionset visible.

Did you copy out all of the working code from
org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt.plugin? That's the plugin that uses
org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hook, org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt
to do the transform.

The xslt plugin does not have anything except the registerSevice code

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("equinox.transformerType", "xslt"); //$NON-NLS-1$
//$NON-NLS-2$

registration = context.registerService(URL.class.getName(),
context.getBundle().getEntry("/transform.csv"), properties); //$NON-NLS-1$

I had copied the same lines to my activator class but no luck.

that will get me 100s of plugins.

I think, if i can get the xslt constructed based on the User Permissions ,
the application will have the authroized extensions installed in the
application.
Please correct me if i am wrong on this.

Hi,

We are simply extending the expression framework and add declartive
checks to user privileges. You can look at an example application i've
created [1,2,3].

Will it be possible to write a trojan plugin to make this commands enabled ,
i am just thinking whether it will be possible.

How do we do this for the views and perspectives?.

Sure but the same is true for the XSLT solution :-) and even JAAS I
guess because I could install bundles using the OSGi-Console/OSGi-API
myself any time.

In the end its always the same problem and the only real solution I know
of is to use a 3-tier setup and the application-server controls that the
user is not executing commands it is not allowed, not getting data it is
not allowed to see, ... . The client-side privileges are nice because it
helps users to only see actions, forms they are allowed to.

If someone highjacks the system the user can execute the command locally
but in the end the server denies to e.g. the creation. The same is true
for views, forms, ... if the system is hacked the user might see views
but because the server doesn't deliver data the user can't see any thing.

> How do we do this for the views and perspectives?.

I think expressions can also be used on activities but I'm not 100% sure.

Yes, that was added in 3.4. With tweaks to your TriggerPointAdvisor,
expression enabled activities can be set up to be high priority (i.e. if
an expression based activity returns false it is disabled, no matter how
many other activities return true).

There's some information in Help>Help Contents>Platform Plug-in
Developer Guide and a starting point in bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201052

I think you said you started everything, that's probably the same as the
example:

osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2\:start,org.eclipse.update.configurator@3\:start,org.eclipse.core.runtime@start,org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt@1:\start,org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt.plugin@1:\start

Where did you get the transforms bundles from? AFAIK they now live in
/cvsroot/rt - org.eclipse.equinox/components/bundles

I checked out the 3 plugins,

org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hook (/cvsroot/rt)
org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt (/cvsroot/rt)
org.eclipse.osgi (/cvsroot/rt)
org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt.plugin (/cvsroot/eclipse
equinox-incubator)

Then I updated the /org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.xslt.plugin/XSLT
Transform Launch.launch to include all the plugins and launched it. It
processed the CSV files in
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.transforms.CSVParser.parse(URL)

You can set a breakpoint in there to see if your CSV is getting parsed.

Then really, it's about getting your plugin to include all of the things
from *.xslt.plugin (which works).

I have attached the transform_source.zip which contains two plugins.
1.com.transform.example
2. com.transform.example.transformme

I did all the checkout and copied the xslt.plugin stuff to the
com.transform.example plugin Activator. But when i run the app i dont see
the actionset visible (coming from the com.transform.example.transformme )
on the application.

When i did the debug it parses the CSV file but the plugin.xml never gets
transformed. Please help !

I followed the expressions approach to enable/disable commands. But it does

I used enabledWhen insteadof activeWhen but no matter what i set to the
variable it never gets enabled.

<enabledWhen>

<with

variable="com.sequenom.ivd.users.factory.ADD_USER">

<equals

value="true">

</with>

</enabledWhen>

I returned the map with com.sequenom.ivd.users.factory.ADD_USER = true but
the command is not enabled. What am i doing wrong.
