Role of GREG permission-mappings.xml

GREG has a permission-mapping.xml. We can find it at /home/chanaka/Desktop/greg/wso2greg-5.2.0/repository/conf/etc/permission-mappings.xml

Each entry has three attributes.

managementPermission
resourcePermission
resourcePaths

Ex:

managementPermission="/permission/admin/manage/resources/govern/server/list"
resourcePermission="http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/get"
resourcePaths="/_system/governance/trunk/servers"
/>

There are default configurations in this file. These entries are mapping each permission in the permission tree in to resource paths and assign them permissions.

With the above line in the permission-mappings.xml, an admin user who assign the permission "/permission/admin/manage/resources/govern/server/list" will be able to do get operations on registry resources stored at "/_system/governance/trunk/servers". We can provide multiple resource paths by separating them by comas.

There are 3 types of permissions you can apply.

http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/get
http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/add
http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/delete

We can use these permissions to control each permission tree items behavior.

With the following documentation link we can find the default behavior implemented with this permission-mappings.xml.

Overriding default look and feel of GREG - 5.3.0

Following list explains what are the best approach for different use cases. 1 ) - You created a new asset type, and you need to change the look and feel of the details page in the listing page just for that new asset type. To create a new asset type you need to login to the carbon console (username:admin, password:admin) https:// :9443/carbon/ Navigate to Extensions > Configure > Artifacts Click "Add new Artifact" link at the bottom of the page. By default in the "Generic Artifact" area "application" asset type is loaded. Note the shortName="applications" in the root node. "applications" is the name of the asset type. Browse in to /repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/extensions/assets Create a folder with name "applications" Now we can override the files in /repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/extensions/app/greg-store-defaults Since we are overriding the details page we need to...

Using javascript to Include a html file inside another html file

When there is no server side functionality needed we create the whole site in plain html. Usually these sites have left/right side menu, top header, footer etc.. If the site grows in to 20, 30 pages, it will be a headache to do a simple change like changing footer text. We will have to change each page. If we were using a server side technology like PHP, JSP, etc.., we will have the chance to keep the common areas in the site in different pages and include these parts in each page using a “include” statements. We can do the same thing with the plain old html and javascript. But how? First you need to create the site main layout using divs and give them unique ids. <html> <title>HTML Includes</title> <script language="javascript" src="js/main.js"></script> <script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" xml:space="preserve"> // <...

Projecting HTML Elements on a circle using Javascript

Recently I wonted to create a tree control with a different approach. The requirement was to represent a node tree with main node on the circle center and it's child nodes projected on a circle around it. This is what i wanted. My solution has 5 files prototype.js This is a handy javascript framework. You can download the latest version from there website ( www.prototypejs.org/download ). I am using this to simply handle the onload event in the page. circle.html script.js node-main-left.gif node-sub-left.gif The circle.html, prototype.js and the script.js files are in the root folder and the two images are inside a folder named “images”. This is how the html file looks(circle.html). <html> <head> <script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="script.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" xml:space...
