Login User and Password

[dckamo]

Hi,

I intend creating a web application in java/Jdeveloper that is an add on to ellipse. I need to use the user id and password validation modules as a front end to my application (Similar to Ellipse).

Has anyone done something similar or have any ideas.

I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to in your question... Ellipse User id and password validation occurs on login to Ellipse after a connection to the Ellipse server.

The Ellipse WinView Client login screen (mlog.exe) is a Windows COM based object. This is only used in a win32 environment.

You will have to create you own login screen and use the connect and login methods of the MimsSession class... see the EllipseConnection.java code below:

package com.mincom.ellipse.myapp.connection;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InterruptedIOException;

import com.mincom.mims.tech.mware.cbr.CBRException;
import com.mincom.mims.tech.mware.common.*;


/**
 * The EllipseConnection class is used to establish a connection to Ellipse
 */
public class EllipseConnection {

	private IMimsSession mySession;
	private String buflib = "";
	
	private String hostName;
	private String portNumber;
	private String hostUsername;
	private String hostPassword;
	
	/**
	 * EllipseConnection constructor
	 */
	public EllipseConnection() {
		
	}
	
	/**
	 * Set the location of the bfl files (for MSO access)
	 * @param location
	 */
	public void setBufferLibraryLocation(String location) {
		buflib = location;
	}

	/**
	 * Connect to the Ellipse server
	 * @param TP
	 * @param hostName
	 * @param portNumber
	 * @param hostUsername
	 * @param hostPassword
	 * @throws EllipseConnectionException
	 */

	public void connect(String TP, String hostName, int portNumber, String hostUsername, String hostPassword) throws EllipseConnectionException {
		
		MimsSessionFactory sessionFactory = MimsSessionFactory.getMimsSessionFactory();
		mySession = sessionFactory.getMimsSession(TP,buflib);
	
		try {
            mySession.connect(hostName, portNumber, hostUsername, hostPassword);
        } catch (InterruptedIOException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(e.toString());
        } catch (IOException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(e.toString());
        } catch (CBRException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(e.toString());
        }
	}  
	
	/**
	 * This method attempts to login to the Ellipse server.
	 * @param mimsUser
	 * @param mimsPwd
	 * @param district
	 * @param position
	 * @throws EllipseConnectionException
	 */
	//login to mims
	public void login(String mimsUser,String mimsPwd,String district,String position) throws EllipseConnectionException {
		try {
			mySession.login(mimsUser,mimsPwd,district,position);
		} catch (CBRException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(trimQuotes(e.toString()));

        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(trimQuotes(e.toString()));
		} catch (ServerException e) {
			throw new EllipseConnectionException(trimQuotes(e.getLocalizedMessage()));
		} catch (IOException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(trimQuotes(e.toString()));
		}
	}


	/**
	 * This method attempts to disconnect from the Ellipse server.
	 * @throws EllipseConnectionException
	 */
	//disconnect from mims server
    public void disconnect() throws EllipseConnectionException {
        try {
            mySession.disconnect();
        } catch (IOException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(e.toString());
        } catch (CBRException e) {
        	throw new EllipseConnectionException(e.toString());
        }
    }
	
	/**

	public IMimsSession getSession() {
		return mySession;
	}
	
	/**

	private String trimQuotes(String errorMessage) {
		// Start with initial trim
		String trimMessage = errorMessage.trim();
		// Strip double quotes (") from error message
		if (trimMessage.startsWith("\"") && trimMessage.endsWith("\"")) {
			trimMessage = trimMessage.substring(1, trimMessage.length()-1);
		}
		// Trim again on the way out
		return trimMessage.trim();
	}
}

Hi,

Thank you for the java code. This is what I will use.
