JFacets : the profile based framework | JFacets / SimpleProfileRepository

The SimpleProfileRepository is an implementation of the ProfileRepository included by default in JFacets. You can use it directly when starting a new project ("fake" the future graph in a few minutes to start developing, and build the real implementation later or in parallel). It's also used in the examples.

Default profiles

The SimpleProfileRepository creates a default profiles tree if you don't override its feed() method, used to represent a fictious users and roles hierarchy :

root_profile
- role_standard
  - john
- role_standard
  - ivar

Defining your own profiles

The use of the SimpleProfileRepository is easy. You simply have to do 2 things :

write a class that extends jfacets.profiles.simple.SimpleProfileRepository, and override the protected void feed() method to create the graph :

[Get Code]

package com.xyz.myapp.jfacets;

public class MyProfileRepository extends SimpleProfileRepository {

@Override
protected void feed() {
// create the graph (erf, here it's a tree)
SimpleProfile root_profile = createProfile("root_profile");
SimpleProfile admin_role = createProfile("admin_role");
root_profile.addChild(admin_role);
SimpleProfile ivar = createProfile("ivar");
admin_role.addChild(ivar);
SimpleProfile standard_role = createProfile("standard_role");
root_profile.addChild(standard_role);
SimpleProfile john = createProfile("john");
standard_role.addChild(john);
}

}

set your implementation class in the Spring context :

[Get Code]

Then, you can start assigning facets to profiles in the graph and retrieve them.
