Method Detail

initializeGroupImplementation

public void initializeGroupImplementation(VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg configuration)

Description copied from class: Group

Initializes a "shell" instance of this group implementation that may be used to identify and instantiate instances of this type of group in the directory data.

Specified by:

initializeGroupImplementation in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration for this group implementation.

newInstance

The group instance created from the definition in the provided entry.

Throws:

LdapException - If a problem occurs while trying to create the group instance.

getGroupDefinitionFilter

public Filter getGroupDefinitionFilter()

Description copied from class: Group

Retrieves a search filter that may be used to identify entries containing definitions for groups of this type in the Directory Server. This method must be designed so that it may be invoked on the "shell" instance created using the default constructor and initialized with the initializeGroupImplementation method.

Specified by:

getGroupDefinitionFilter in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Returns:

A search filter that may be used to identify entries containing definitions for groups of this type in the Directory Server.

isGroupDefinition

public boolean isGroupDefinition(Entry entry)

Description copied from class: Group

Indicates whether the provided entry contains a valid definition for this type of group.

Specified by:

isGroupDefinition in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

entry - The entry for which to make the determination.

Returns:

true if the provided entry does contain a valid definition for this type of group, or false if it does not.

getGroupDN

public Dn getGroupDN()

Description copied from class: Group

Retrieves the DN of the entry that contains the definition for this group.

Specified by:

getGroupDN in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Returns:

The DN of the entry that contains the definition for this group.

setGroupDN

public void setGroupDN(Dn groupDN)

Description copied from class: Group

Sets the DN of the entry that contains the definition for this group.

Specified by:

setGroupDN in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

groupDN - The DN of the entry that contains the definition for this group.

getTargetGroupDN

public Dn getTargetGroupDN()

Retrieves the DN of the target group for this virtual static group.

Returns:

The DN of the target group for this virtual static group.

getNestedGroupDNs

public Set<Dn> getNestedGroupDNs()

Description copied from class: Group

Retrieves a set of the DNs of any nested groups whose members should be considered members of this group.

Specified by:

getNestedGroupDNs in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Returns:

A set of the DNs of any nested groups whose members should be considered members of this group.

isMember

public boolean isMember(Dn userDN,
                        AtomicReference<Set<Dn>> examinedGroups)
                 throws LdapException

Description copied from class: Group

Indicates whether the user with the specified DN is a member of this group. Note that this is a point-in-time determination and the caller must not cache the result. Also note that group implementations that support nesting should use this version of the method rather than the version that does not take a set of DNs when attempting to determine whether a nested group includes the target member.

Specified by:

isMember in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

userDN - The DN of the user for which to make the determination.

examinedGroups - A set of groups that have already been examined in the process of making the determination. This provides a mechanism to prevent infinite recursion due to circular references (e.g., two groups include each other as nested groups). Each time a group instance is checked, its DN should be added to the list, and any DN already contained in the list should be skipped. The use of an atomic reference allow to lazily create the Set to optimize memory when there is no nested groups.

Returns:

true if the specified user is currently a member of this group, or false if not.

Throws:

LdapException - If a problem occurs while attempting to make the determination.

isMember

public boolean isMember(Entry userEntry,
                        AtomicReference<Set<Dn>> examinedGroups)
                 throws LdapException

Description copied from class: Group

Indicates whether the user described by the provided user entry is a member of this group. Note that this is a point-in-time determination and the caller must not cache the result. Also note that group implementations that support nesting should use this version of the method rather than the version that does not take a set of DNs when attempting to determine whether a nested group includes the target member.

Specified by:

isMember in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

userEntry - The entry for the user for which to make the determination.

examinedGroups - A set of groups that have already been examined in the process of making the determination. This provides a mechanism to prevent infinite recursion due to circular references (e.g., two groups include each other as nested groups). Each time a group instance is checked, its DN should be added to the list, and any DN already contained in the list should be skipped. The use of an atomic reference allow to lazily create the Set to optimize memory when there is no nested groups.

Returns:

true if the specified user is currently a member of this group, or false if not.

Throws:

LdapException - If a problem occurs while attempting to make the determination.

getMembers

public MemberList getMembers()
                      throws LdapException

Description copied from class: Group

Retrieves an iterator that may be used to cursor through the entries of the members contained in this group. Note that this is a point-in-time determination, and the caller must not cache the result. Further, the determination should only include this group and not members from nested groups.

Overrides:

getMembers in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Returns:

An iterator that may be used to cursor through the entries of the members contained in this group.

Throws:

LdapException - If a problem occurs while attempting to retrieve the set of members.

getMembers

public MemberList getMembers(Dn baseDN,
                             SearchScope scope,
                             Filter filter)
                      throws LdapException

Description copied from class: Group

Retrieves an iterator that may be used to cursor through the entries of the members contained in this group. It may optionally retrieve a subset of the member entries based on a given set of criteria. Note that this is a point-in-time determination, and the caller must not cache the result.

Specified by:

getMembers in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

baseDN - The base DN that should be used when determining whether a given entry will be returned. If this is null, then all entries will be considered in the scope of the criteria.

scope - The scope that should be used when determining whether a given entry will be returned. It must not be null if the provided base DN is not null. The scope will be ignored if no base DN is provided.

filter - The filter that should be used when determining whether a given entry will be returned. If this is null, then any entry in the scope of the criteria will be included in the results.

Returns:

An iterator that may be used to cursor through the entries of the members contained in this group.

Throws:

LdapException - If a problem occurs while attempting to retrieve the set of members.

mayAlterMemberList

public boolean mayAlterMemberList()

Description copied from class: Group

Indicates whether it is possible to alter the member list for this group (e.g., in order to add members to the group or remove members from it).

Specified by:

mayAlterMemberList in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Returns:

true if it is possible to add members to this group, or false if not.

updateMembers

public void updateMembers(List<Modification> modifications)
                   throws UnsupportedOperationException

Specified by:

updateMembers in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

modifications - The list of modifications being made to the group, which may include changes to non-member attributes.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - If this group does not support altering the member list.

toString

public void toString(StringBuilder buffer)

Description copied from class: Group

Appends a string representation of this group to the provided buffer.

Specified by:

toString in class Group<VirtualStaticGroupImplementationCfg>

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which the string representation should be appended.
