Creating a new adapter
Adapters are trivial to create, however you will need to modify the portlet source to do so. We made this as straightforward as possible.
Create a class that extends au.edu.anu.portal.portlets.basiclti.adapters.AbstractAdapter
You then need to provide an implementation for a single method:
public Map<String,String> processLaunchData(Map<String,String> params);
In this method, you perform any processing or parameter injection that you need. The following is an example that adds an extra parameter and lowercases another parameter:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
public class SampleAdapter extends AbstractAdapter {
@Override
public Map<String, String> processLaunchData(Map<String, String> params) {
log.debug("SampleAdapter.processLaunchData() called");
//lowercase a parameter
params.put("user_id", StringUtils.lowerCase(params.get("user_id")));
//conditionally add new parameter
if(Boolean.parseBoolean(params.get("some_boolean_param"))) {
params.put("my_param", "My Special Parameter");
}
//add defaults
params.putAll(super.getDefaultParameters());
return params;
}
}

You must include the following at the end of any logic you perform:
