Re: [higgins-dev] Adding contexts dynamically to the IdASRegistry

["Markus Sabadello" <msabadello@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

Yes you are right.. The update happens only in memory. In order to persist the change we would have to extend our Configuration API to allow configuration data to be updated. It's read-only at the moment; We have talked about this many times, but we haven't realized it yet.

So, since settings in your local configuration file that serve as Context IDs cannot be modified, an alternative for you may be to use another type of Context ID, e.g. one of those:
1. An http: URI that points to an XRDS file. You can update the context configuration by updating the XRDS file at that http location, and you can generate new Context IDs by creating new XRDS files.
2. A file: URI that points to an XRDS file. Same as 1, except that the XRDS file is local
3. An XRI that resolves to an XRDS file. You can update the context configuration by updating the XRDS file associated with the XRI, and you can generate new Context IDs by registering new XRIs at an XRI authority resolution server (e.g. OpenXRI).

If you need help with any of this, let me know.

As I understand, these methods would update only the in-memory copy of the
registry. And the registry is typically initialized through the XML/XRDS
configuration handler like -
IdASRegistry _registry = (IdASRegistry)handler.getSettings().get(
"IdentityAttributeService");

What kind of changes would be necessary to persist this in-memory update to
the context information in the IdAS registry? For e.g. I want to be able to
add/remove new contexts in the registry, edit properties of an existing
context setting in the registry and also persist this change in the source
(if it is an XML/XRDS file).

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Best regards,

Hello,

I added these methods to IdASRegistry:
   public void registerContextId(String contextId, Map
contextIdConfiguration);
   public void removeContextId(String contextId);

Please have a look at them and tell me if that can do what you had in mind.

 You are right, this is not currently possible. But we can add that
 feature
 easily if you need it?
