This example demonstrates how to modify the ACL of an attribute using Strategy Web SDK Java API


package com.Strategy.sdk.samples.webobjects;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebAccessControlList;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebAttribute;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebIServerSession;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectInfo;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectSecurity;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectSource;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsException;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsFactory;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLAccessEntryType;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLAccessRightFlags;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLApplicationType;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLObjectFlags;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes;

public class ACLModify {

	private static WebObjectsFactory factory = null;
	private static WebIServerSession serverSession = null;

	public static void main(String[] args) throws WebObjectsException {
		factory = WebObjectsFactory.getInstance();
		serverSession = factory.getIServerSession();
		serverSession.setServerName("SERVERNAME"); //IServer name
		serverSession.setServerPort(0);
		serverSession.setProjectName("Strategy Tutorial"); //Project to create the session
		serverSession.setLogin("Administrator"); //UserID
		serverSession.setPassword(""); //Password
		serverSession.setApplicationType(EnumDSSXMLApplicationType.DssXmlApplicationCustomApp); //change source for userconnection - Desktop

		//Initialize the session with the above parameters
		WebObjectSource objSource = serverSession.getFactory().getObjectSource();
		int flags = objSource.getFlags();
		objSource.setFlags(flags | EnumDSSXMLObjectFlags.DssXmlObjectTotalObject);

		WebObjectInfo woi = objSource.getObject("8D679D5111D3E4981000E787EC6DE8A4", EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes.DssXmlTypeAttribute, true);
		WebAttribute attribute = (WebAttribute) woi;
		System.out.println(attribute.getDisplayName());
		WebObjectSecurity wos = woi.getSecurity();
		WebAccessControlList acl = wos.getACL();

		for (int i = 0; i < acl.size(); i++) {
			//gets the users/group under Security for this object

			System.out.println("Trustee " + acl.get(i).getTrustee().getDisplayName());

			//get the rights for each user/group
			System.out.println("Rights " + acl.get(i).getRights());

			//change acl to modify for all group/users

			acl.get(i).setRights(223);
			objSource.save(woi);

		}
