Alfresco - method createAuthentication is undefined
I am using Alfresco-Community-3.3 and am trying out the following example code from Jeff Potts book: Alfresco Developer Guide
// client-extensions/src/java/com/someco/module/BootstrapAuthorityCreator.java // create tuser1, tuser2, tuser3, tuser4 if(!authenticationService.authenticationExists("tuser1")) { authenticationService.createAuthentication("tuser1", "password".toCharArray()); if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Created tuser1 auth"); }
But I get this error:
The method createAuthentication(String, char[]) is undefined for the type AuthenticationService
And indeed when I look at the javadocs for org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.AuthenticationService there is no createAuthentication()
method. It seems to have been moved into org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.MutableAuthenticationService. So, I changed authenticationService
into an instance of MutableAuthenticationService
:
// private AuthenticationService authenticationService; private MutableAuthenticationService authenticationService;
You also need to modify the signature of setAuthenticationService()
.
I posted this on the Alfresco Forums too.
