Hi,

I want to retrieve user details from Active Directory to populate a text presentation with a summary of the account e.g. internal/external email, location, interests etc .. when an Active Directory user is selected in a dependent attribute.


So far, I've written a servlet that I use in a javascript FilteredValueSet attribute customisation, to retrive a filtered list of names and staff ids using the HTTPConnector. which upon selection, populates it's associated attribute : globalDirectoryUser.

So far so good!

I now want to use a Calculated value javascript to fire upon this selection to populate the User's details in an attribute called globalDirectoryUserDetails.
I had hoped to re-use the HTTPConnector in the calculated value script - but there's NO 'context' argument passed into the getValue() dojo function

getValue() :

getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {...

unlike,
getFilteredValueSet:

getFilteredValueSet: function(attributeId, workItem, context, filter) {...

So, my question is/are:

> Is there any way I can retrieve the 'context' from within a calculated value javascript
> But what I REALLY want is ... is a way to utilize the HTTPConnector from within a calculated value javascript ?

Thanks in advance
