SOLVED Parse Workflow Form Element Values

[alexwgordon]

Hi all,

I'm working on a workflow and this may be trivial, but I'm confused on how to parse two of these types of information.

1. I retrieve the security of a file by performing

Code: Select all

String mySecurityUsers = OKMAuth.getInstance().getGrantedUsers(systemToken, thisPath).toString();

However, when I get this information it comes out looking like this

Code: Select all

{okmAdmin=15, user1=3}

My question is: is there an easier way to pull out each username and security rights other than parsing the string using a .split() method? I'm currently doing

Code: Select all

List<String> items = Arrays.asList(mySecurityUsers.split("(=)|(\\{)|(,\\s)|(\\})"));
for (int i = 1 ; i < items.size() ; i += 2){
       	System.out.println(items.get(i) + " gets security " + items.get(i+1));
}

2. If I'm retrieving information from a folder input in a workflow form element, what is the best way to retrieve the actual path from that form element. I'm currently doing this with my form

Code: Select all

<input name="folderName" label="Folder" type="folder">
	<validator type="req" />
</input>

and then doing this with my workflow

Code: Select all

Object folderVar = executionContext.getContextInstance().getVariable("folderName");

however, there's no good way to get the path that I can see other than doing a .split method as well. I'm sure there must be a more elegant solution for both of these!

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Alright, this one is resolved! It was in fact much simpler than using some .split method. Here's my solutions for each:

1.

Code: Select all

String nodePath = (String) context.getContextInstance().getVariable("uuid");
// Get role/user security for current file so they can all be revoked
Map <String, Integer> maprFile = OKMAuth.getInstance().getGrantedRoles(systemToken, nodePath);
// Get keys for both
Set<String> keysrFile = maprFile.keySet();
// Revoke privileges for each current user except Admin
for (String role : keysrFile) {
	if (!role.contains("ROLE_ADMIN")) {
		OKMAuth.getInstance().revokeRole(systemToken, nodePath, role, ( Permission.ALL_GRANTS ), false);
	}
}

2.

Code: Select all

Input folderVar = (Input) executionContext.getContextInstance().getVariable("folderName");
String destination = folderVar.getValue();

They were both much more elegant and pretty simple solutions. Hope this will help someone as new to Java as me!

If you take a look at java doc you will see the object what returns each method, you should always use it.
