[Yanel-dev] User management search implementation

Mon Apr 18 17:16:16 CEST 2011

hi,
in the meanwhile I found out the following:
in the ListUsersResource class there is an initVars() method.
In there is a line:

userManager.getAllUsers();

this returns an iterator with no items (hasNext() is false).

On the other hand,

userManager.getUserCount();

returns the correct number of users (and is also displayed on the User List
Page).

I'm investigating further...
Cheers
Balz
