WebProjectSource

com.microstrategy.web.objects.WebProjectSource

Class Overview

The WebProjectSource object is used to execute project-related tasks. It can be obtained from WebObjectsFactory, and internally it will be associated with that factory. From the associated WebObjectsFactory, this source will retrieve neccessay information needed for performing its task, especially the WebIServerSession associated with the factory.

It acts as a source for retrieving list of projects and project flags. Note that the getProjects method will return those projects that are loaded on the server, while getAccessibleProjects will use the credentials set on the WebIServerSession object to return only those projects that the user can login to successfully. getRepositoryProjects will return all projects in the repository, regardless of whether they are loaded or not; this method is only useful for server administration.

Public Methods

public abstract boolean checkPrivilege (String projectDSSID, int privilegeType)

Parameters
projectDSSID - project DSS ID to check.
privilegeType - value from EnumDSSXMLPrivilegeTypes
Returns
  • true if the privilege is enabled
Throws
WebObjectsException if there is any error while retrieving privileges

public abstract WebProjectInstances getAccessibleProjects ()

Returns the WebProjectInstances object containing only those projects that the user can login to. Note that the credentials to use for this call come from the WebIServerSession object associated with the WebObjectsFactory object that this object came from. The credentials include: login name, password, authentication mode, server name and port number. These credentials need to be set up correctly on WebIServerSession before calling this method.

Returns
Throws
WebObjectsException Thrown if there is an error retrieving the list.
