Method Detail

dispatchEvent

public static void dispatchEvent(Event theEvent)

Deprecated Use EventService.dispatchEvent(Event theEvent).

Dispatch an event, looking up the EventService EJB each time. It is recommended that the caller instead get an instance of the EventServiceBean using TrackingEventHelperImpl.getEventService(), then call TrackingEventHelperImpl.dispatchEvent() with with that EventServiceBean.

To enable debugging for monitoring event firing, set this in debug.properties:

com.bea.p13n.tracking.TrackingEventHelperImpl: on

dispatchEvent

public static void dispatchEvent(EventService eventService,
                                 Event evt)

Fire the event, passing in the reference of the EventService EJB. To enable debugging for monitoring event firing, set this in debug.properties:

com.bea.p13n.tracking.TrackingEventHelperImpl: on

getEventService

public static EventService getEventService()
                                    throws Exception

Get an instance of the EventService EJB. This class (Helper) should not be responsible for caching instances of the EventService EJB. That should be done by the calling application.

This API will use the ApplicationHelper to get the application name and prepend it to .BEA_personalization.EventService to do the JNDI lookup. If the JNDI lookup name is known (such as an ejb-ref), then use the getEventService(String lookup) API.

Throws

Exception

getEventService

public static EventService getEventService(String lookup)
                                    throws Exception

Get an instance of the EventService EJB. This class (Helper) should not be responsible for caching instances of the EventService EJB. That should be done by the calling application.

This API will use the ApplicationHelper to get the application name and prepend it to .BEA_personalization.EventService to do the JNDI lookup. If the JNDI lookup name is not known, then use the getEventService() API.

Parameters

lookup - The JNDI lookup name

Throws

Exception

getUserId

public static String getUserId(HttpServletRequest req)

Return the user id of the currently logged in user (i.e. the user associated to the thread, not neccessarily the request's remote user).

public static void dispatchSessionLoginEvent(HttpServletRequest theRequest,
                                             String userId)

Utility method to dispatch a SessionLoginEvent for the specified userId, if it hasn't been done already.

Parameters

theRequest - the http servlet request the event is generating from.

userId - the user id to generate the event for.

dispatchSessionLoginEvent

public static void dispatchSessionLoginEvent(HttpServletRequest theRequest)

Utility method to dispatch a SessionLoginEvent for the user logged into the given servlet request, if it hasn't been done already.

Parameters

theRequest - the http servlet request the event is generating from.
