DocumentDataSource with Signer/SignerWithFullAccess-Rights

Yesterday I read the very interessting question from Daniele Grillo at stackoverflow.com: Is a datasource available for XPages who can access the underlying document with different access levels?

I have never seen one before, so I decided to do some tests and tried to find a workaround / hack for this problem. But after a while and a some lines of coding, I was unable to get a solution, so I decided to create a new datasource: A datasource which can access the documents in the backend with different access levels: sessionAsSigner and sessionAsSignerWithFullAccess.

The datasource is still in beta version, there are some limitations because I have implemented the basic functionallity only. It must be added programmatically, I have no ambitions to create a design element of it, but perhaps I will create a XSnippet.

To use this datasource, you can add it to a XPage and control it via URL parameters.

  • Open document as current user
XPage.xsp?documentId=<DocUNID>
  • Open document as Signer
XPage.xsp?documentId=<DocUNID>&access=sessionAsSigner
  • Open document as Signer with Full Access
XPage.xsp?documentId=<DocUNID>&access=sessionAsSignerWithFullAccess

To use this datasource in your XPage, you have to add some SSJS code:

<xp:this.beforePageLoad>
   <![CDATA[#{javascript:
      importPackage(ch.hasselba.xpages.jsf.core);
      var ds = new 
         ch.hasselba.xpages.jsf.core.AccessDocDataSource();
      ds.setVar( "document1" );
      ds.setConcurrencyMode( "force" );
      view.addData(ds);
   }]]>
</xp:this.beforePageLoad>

[You can change the name of the datasource (marked red) to fit your requirements.]

The datasource can be used like a normal document datasource:

<xp:inputText id="inputText1" value="#{document1.Test}" />

To save the document you have to call the save method directly (The default actions are currently not working. Maybe because the actions check the object type. I am trying to figure this out):

<xp:button value="Save" id="button1">
   <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
      refreshMode="complete">
      <xp:this.action>
         <![CDATA[#{javascript:document1.save()}]]>
      </xp:this.action>
   </xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>

Here is the Java code:

package ch.hasselba.xpages.jsf.core;

import com.ibm.xsp.FacesExceptionEx;
import com.ibm.xsp.model.AbstractDocumentDataSource;

  1. Daniele Grillo sagt:

    Woooww, wonderful work!!!

    Tnx you very much!

  2. Fredrik sagt:

    Scary, get full access to database and pass domino security using url param.
    However, a nice example of XPages possibilites.

  3. Bill Hanson sagt:

    This looks like it will solve an issue for me, but I am getting a 505 error when testing. Do you have any idea why I get a 505 when the new data source is constructed in the SSJS beforePageLoad event?

  4. Bill Hanson sagt:

    Oops, sorry. The error was actually: Error 500 – HTTP Web Server: Command Not Handled Exception.

    In the server logs, the exception is: NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.xsp.model.DocDataSource, but that is never displayed in the browser even though I have the error page enabled.

    Any ideas would be much appreciated. This idea opens up some great possibilities!

  5. Hi Sven,
    I the R9 release seem that when you save the document..now generate error 500…
    Into the specific the problem is that loose the java bean to the field

    Have you the same problem?
