Operations

This section describes the following operations:

 

advance

Advances the list to the next element in the list.

Operation Name "advance"    
Parameters Object [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns void
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidCursorException

 

close

Indicates that the caller is finished using the list, and that the resources held on behalf of the list may be released. If the caller traverses through all the elements in the list, the caller need not call this method. In other words, it is used to let the caller close the list without reading each element that is returned.

Operation Name "close"    
Parameters Object [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns void
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidCursorException

 

getCurrentName

The name of the current item in the list. Returns null if there is no current item.

Operation Name "getCurrentName"    
Parameters Object [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns String
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidCursorException

 

getUserDescription

Gets a user's description.

Operation Name "getUserDescription"    
Parameters Object [] {  userName }

where:

  • userName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The name of an existing user.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns String
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.NotFoundException

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidParameterException

 

haveCurrent

Returns true if there are more objects in the list, and false otherwise.

Operation Name "haveCurrent"    
Parameters Object [] {  cursor }

where:

  • cursor is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The cursor returned from a previous list method.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns boolean
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidCursorException

 

isSet

Returns true if the specified attribute has been set explicitly in this MBean instance.

Operation Name "isSet"    
Parameters Object [] {  propertyName }

where:

  • propertyName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    property to check

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns boolean
Exceptions

  • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

 

listUsers

Searches for a user name that matches a pattern.

This method returns a cursor that you can pass to the methods from weblogic.management.utils.NameListerMBean (which this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.

This method does not sort the results.

Operation Name "listUsers"    
Parameters Object [] {  userNameWildcard, maximumToReturn }

where:

  • userNameWildcard is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The pattern for which this method searches. The pattern can end with an * (asterisk) as a wildcard, which matches any string of characters. The search is not case-sensitive.

    For example, a pattern of abc matches exactly one user name that contains only abc, a pattern of ab* matches all user names that start with ab, and a pattern of * matches all user names.

  • maximumToReturn is an object of type java.lang.Integer that specifies:

    - The maximum number of user names that this method returns. If there are more matches than this maximum, then the returned results are arbitrary because this method does not sort results. If the parameter is set to 0 there is no maximum and all results are returned.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String", "java.lang.Integer" }
Returns String
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidParameterException

 

unSet

Restore the given property to its default value.

Operation Name "unSet"    
Parameters Object [] {  propertyName }

where:

  • propertyName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    property to restore

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns void
Exceptions

  • java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    UnsupportedOperationException if called on a runtime implementation.

 

userExists

Indicates whether the specified user exists.

Operation Name "userExists"    
Parameters Object [] {  userName }

where:

  • userName is an object of type java.lang.String that specifies:

    - The name that this method evaluates.

Signature String [] { "java.lang.String" }
Returns boolean
Exceptions

  • weblogic.management.utils.InvalidParameterException

 

wls_getDisplayName
