Re: [higgins-dev] Adding contexts dynamically to the IdASRegistry
|
Hi Markus,
The solutions you have provided essentially talk about ways to work with
the XRDS file directly and these may or may not be consistent across
different IdAS applications.
What we need is the ability to make updates to the configuration file
(whether XML or XRDS) through API enhancements in the IConfigurationHandler
interface.
Moreover, each context provider would have its own list of configuration
settings. It would be nice to expose these settings through a context
configuration model interface (something like the I*Model interfaces for
schema). This way, an IdAS application UI would simply need to query the
context configuration model and present those in a graphical way depending
on the type of context being created or edited.
Please let us know what you think.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Rajalakshmi Iyer

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

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,

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?

that
the only way to update context information in the IdASRegistry is
through
the IdASRegistry's configure() method, which overwrites the existing
context entries in the registry.
