I'm attempting to modify/override functionalities of the CQ client library manager and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with where the code lives?
I've found some js that controls channel detection in DefaultChannelDetector.js and CQClientLibraryManager.js which seemingly only deals with channels, not dependencies or embedding. These are served as a clientlib, etc/clientlibs/foundation/librarymanager.js which I assume can be overriden by pointing htmllibmanager.clientmanager in apps/system/config/com.day.cq.widget.impl.HtmlLibraryManagerImpl.config
So for modifying, I would need to know where the code lives. For overriding, I assume I point the htmllibmanager.clientmanager toward something else but I would still need to know how to access dependencies/categories/embed properties of clientlibs.
Additionally, any low-level insight into how the cq:includeClientLib tag works would be appreciated. (low-level as in point to the code that implements it)
The vast majority of the Client Library functionality is in the HtmlLibraryManager component implemented OOB by the HtmlLibraryManagerImpl class in the com.day.cq.cq-widgets bundle. You can look up this component in Felix to see what bundle it is in and then decompile that bundle if you need to look at the guts of what the implementation does.
At a high level this component handles both the generation of the results of the cq:includeClientLib tag and the concatenation and compilation of libraries when a library URL is requested. Speaking specifically to the cq:includeClientLib tag, the HtmlLibraryManager's writeIncludes method will determine, based on parameters of the request and parameters provided in the cq:includeClientLib tag, how to write includes to the page for the existing libraries.
In the case of dynamic libraries (libraries which are channel based) it will write calls to the library manager JavaScript mechanisms which will dynamically include libraries based on the user's channel. Otherwise appropriate script and link tags for JavaScript and CSS respectively will be written for the requested libraries and their dependencies.

I am novices to the field of Identity and Access management.
Till now I know, Sail point has provided the some direct connectors to integrate the known systems like LDAP, HR systems, OIM, Databases..
And sailpoint also provided the support for disconnected applications with the use of Custom connectors.
Here, My question is how to develop a custom connector..?
I do not have jar file provided by sailpoint which contain "AbstractConnector" class.
So that I can write my own class and develop..?
I also so not understand, what to do with that class?(if i have a jar)
How sailpoint will refer to that class..
Do we need to deploy that class to somewhere...
Here I am expecting the complete flow to develop and deploy the custom connector..
If anyone is working please help..
If you unzip your identityiq.war, you'll find a JAR file called WEB-INF/lib/connector-bundle.jar. This is the JAR where you'll find AbstractConnector. Once you've written your connector code, you will need to compile it and bundle it into a JAR file, which you will place into WEB-INF/lib.
Finally, you will need to update the ConnectorRegistry object (under Configuration on the debug screen) to reference the new class, which will make it available as an Application type. If it has custom connection parameters (as most do), you will also need an xhtml page that will be embedded into the Sailpoint UI to prompt the user configuring the Application.
If you have Compass access, they have a whitepaper called Custom Connectors that you will find helpful.
All that said, I encourage you to try to find a way to use an out-of-box connector if possible.
Most of the times it will be better if you use the DelimitedFile connector, you can import a CSV of identity data, and make it work within Sailpoint's workflow. You will be able to map fields, correlate accounts and create multi-valued group memberships rapidly. Of course, this means that Sailpoint will not be connected directly to the application, and you will have to develop a workflow to extract the identities and upload them. But at least, you can integrate without going the Custom Connector way.
Hi i want to know what is meant by modules in a project??how they are classified and how many modules we can have in a project?can anyone explain with simple examples??What modules we can have in a typical online shopping website?
In .net context I believe one can draw 2 meanings not sure what specific you are looking for.
One is modular programming by following design principles like "Separation of concerns", "Single Responsibility", "loose coupling". This means divide you code into classes based on these principles and further group these classes again based on these principles into modules.
In ASP.NET or C# or in general we create class library projects and use them across the entire project. Like all the logging functionality is put in some classes and these classes are include in an class library project which can be called "Logging module". Whenever you need logging in any of the project you can include this module and use the functionality.
Some examples:
Web module for HTTP requests ( The WebApp)
Repository and Data access Layer modules. (DAL code)
Models module containing all the business entities.
WebService modules for integrating with other apps.
Logging for debugging and problem identification
Infrastructure/Utility modules for utility like functionalities and
application configuration.
Business logic modules.
Transaction gateway module.
Other way to define module in .net is they are PE files and I believe they have extension .netmodule which contain Metadata but they do not contain the assembly manifest. To use a module you have to create a PE file with the necessary assembly manifest.
Create a module:
csc /t:module ufo.cs
Create assembly using the module:
csc /t:library /addmodule:ufo.netmodule /out:airvehicles.dll helicopter.cs
Above 2 commands are from this link
The module is an external code that you plugin on your site and runs in order to do some actions.
(source: codeguru.com)
We make and use modules to have the ability to share the actions of the module with others with out giving the source code, and vice versa, we use modules from other that we do not have access to the source code. Or we can simple use module for have the ability so simplify our code and remove it easy if we do not need it.
We can have as modules as we like, but each module place extra overhead on our code - after all is need to make more thinks there.

I've struggled with a better solution for the following setup. I'm not actively working on this, but know some that might appreciate other ways of handling this.
Setup:
Tridion-managed page has a single "linked list" component Linked list
Single component has component links to other components in Tridion
Linked-to components often link to multimedia component (mm)
An XSLT component template (XSLT CT) renders XML with above content and with links to PDF
XSL document() function used to grab embedded (linked-to) content, all content converted to XML nodes and attributes
TCMScriptAssistant namespace with publishBinary() publishes related PDF and other media
Page template just outputs the result of the CT
Business requirements:
improved publishing (last I worked on this, some of these files created a 2GB publishing transaction because of the PDFs)
published XML content file must reference the associated PDFs; hyperlinks work but identifiers might not help because of...
no Tridion content delivery APIs, mainly for independence from the storage database but also to avoid Tridion-specific code on the presentation server (loosely coupled setup and less training for developers)
The biggest issue is the huge transport package during publishing. The second problem is publishing any of the linked-to PDFs will cause the page to republish.
How could this setup be improved or re-engineered, preferably without too many changes to the existing templates, though modular templating could be considered.
Dynamic component presentations could possibly work, but would need to be published to the file system and not use dynamic linking or broker objects (e.g. no criteria filters, binary metadata, etc).
There are indeed 2 questions. I will handle them in reverse order.
To prevent the page from being republished when you publish a binary, you can use the event system in older versions of Tridion (pre-2011) to turn off link resolving, or with newer versions you can use a custom resolver to prevent this. There is an article by Nuno which explains this(http://nunolinhares.blogspot.com/2011/10/tridion-publisher-and-custom-resolvers.html)
Your second one is a bit tougher, in no small part because of your criteria for not using the SDL Tridion CD APIs. I would have suggested publishing the binaries separately (this would keep the file size down of your transaction package), and using Binary Linking to resolve the paths at request time.
Given this is not an option, I think the only was I would approach it would be to still use dynamic component presentations, and then use predictable unique file names for the PDfs (i.e. use something like 317-12345.pdf based on the URI), and use one directory for all the binaries. That way you could enter the paths to the binary using your XSLT template, as you know where the binaries will be located later. You could then use a custom resolver to publish the binaries when you publish the main list component or page.
Hope that helps

We are creating ReST Web Services using ASP.NET and OpenRasta.
Is there any tool that can could help us:
create WADL file
or/and create human readable API documentation similar which decribed resources/HTTP
methods supported for each resource, etc ?
Looks like REST Describe & Compile should do the trick.
On the WADL developer site Marc Hadley
maintains a command line tool named
WADL2Java. The ambitious goal of REST
Describe & Compile is to provide sort
of WADL2Anything. So what REST
Describe & Compile does is that it:
Generates new WADL files in a completely interactive way.
Lets you upload and edit existing WADL files.
Allows you to compile WADL files to source code in various programming
languages.
For OpenRasta, it'd be possible to use a UriDecorator to have help-like URIs defined for your resources (such as /myResource$help). You can then rewrite the URI before parsing to something yo can document easily, parse teh uri, find the resource type, and rewrite to /help/{resourcetype}
From there you register a resource for your help system:
ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesOfType()
.AtUri("/help/{resourceType}")
.HandledBy()
.RenderedByXxx()
Then you can create your handler to return the documentation about a resource. You could for example use the IOperationCreator service to know which http methodds are available and with what input arguments, use the ICodecRepository to see what media types may be accepted as input, and potentially what a media type serialization would look like by calling the codec and generating an html friendly view of it.
That's definitly an area we're going to work on for the next version.
Flex Builder 3 provides support to generate actionscipt from WSDL via the GUI ( Data->Import Web Service (WSDL) ) - but this sort of method requires that you check in the generated source. This is not desirable to us (we understand both sides of the 'should generated source be checked in' and we have decided that they should not) so we would like a method to generate the actionscript classes from an ant task. In this case, the WSDL would live in the file system.
Any ideas?
You could spent some time digging through Flex Builder's JARs to find the libraries they're using to do this, then invoke them from a very thin custom Ant Task you write yourself. The likelihood of this succeeding is small but might be worth investigating to save yourself a ton of work, just in case.
Short of that, I'd start with WSDL2Java to generate Java classes that represent your WSDL entities. The results won't necessarily be beautiful but you should get classes that adhere to the JavaBean spec. Then you could use one of the open source Java-to-ActionScript generators which include:
Granite Data Services' Gas3
Spicefactory's Pimento, which has Java->AS3 generation
I'm almost positive that Gas3 has an Ant Task you can use; not sure about Pimento.
From the comments in the generated code Flex Builder uses Apache Axis2
/**
* BaseBlaBlahService.as
* This file was auto-generated from WSDL by the Apache Axis2 generator modified by Adobe
* Any change made to this file will be overwritten when the code is re-generated.
*/
I've also found this on the Adobe Forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/96006.
I'm also trying to solve this issue. I guess we need to create a feature request on the adobe flex website. Let me see if i can find my adobe.com user id....
