Creating UserMembersRule with conditions on the value of resource attribute

Question

Hi all.
I am trying to create a UserMembersRule to be used for provisioning an Organization. This rule should select users with a given value for an attribute mapped in a distant Resource.
For instance, it would select all users with "typeTest = test1" in the "Simu1" Resource. Most examples I have seen by now do this for the Waveset resource (querying attributes which are in the IDM Schema, not in distant Resources)
Form the results I have had, I suppose the first syntax (in which the Rule returns a list of AttributeCondition) doesn't work in this case.
I will still give you several syntax I tried to do this :
PLEASE NOTE that I've added "<" characters before each <<s> and <</s> tag, to prevent these from being interpreted by the Forum engine...
Syntax 1 :
<Rule authType='UserMembersRule' id='#ID#Rule:CustomTestRule1' name='Custom Test Rule 1' primaryObjectClass='Rule'>
<block trace='true' name='CustomTestRule1'>
<list>
<new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'>
*<<s>accounts[Simu1].typeTest<</s>*
<<s>equals<</s>
<<s>type1<</s>
</new>
</list>
</block>
<MemberObjectGroups>
<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
</Rule>
Syntax 2 :
<Rule authType='UserMembersRule' id='#ID#Rule:CustomTestRule1' name='Custom Test Rule 1' primaryObjectClass='Rule'>
<block trace='true' name='CustomTestRule1'>
<list>
<new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'>
*<<s>typeTest<</s>*<!--Note that typeTest is mapped in Simu1's configuration-->
<<s>equals<</s>
<<s>type1<</s>
<</new>
</list>
</block>
<MemberObjectGroups>
<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
</Rule>
Syntax 3 :
<Rule authType='UserMembersRule' id='#ID#Rule:CustomTestRule1' name='Custom Test Rule 1' primaryObjectClass='Rule'>
<block trace='true' name='CustomTestRule1'>
<list>
<new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'>
*<<s>waveset.typeTest<</s>*
<<s>equals<</s>
<<s>type1<</s>
</new>
</list>
</block>
<MemberObjectGroups>
<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
</Rule>
Syntax 4 :
<Rule authType='UserMembersRule' id='#ID#Rule:CustomTestRule1' name='Custom Test Rule 1' primaryObjectClass='Rule'>
<block trace='true' name='CustomTestRule1'>
<list>
<new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'>
*<<s>Simu1.typeTest<</s>*
<<s>equals<</s>
<<s>type1<</s>
</new>
</list>
</block>
<MemberObjectGroups>
<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#Top' name='Top'/>
</MemberObjectGroups>
</Rule>
Then, since it didn't work, I tried the second syntax, in which the Rule returns a list of accountIds (in the form of "accountId:Resource") : as the examples on the web and in Waveset's documentation suggested, I queried the Resource with "com.waveset.ui.FormUtil.getResourceObjects".
Syntax 5 :
<Rule authType='UserMembersRule' id='#ID#Rule:CustomTestRule2' name='Custom Test Rule 2' primaryObjectClass='Rule'>
<defvar name='Members'>
<block trace='true' name='CustomTestRule2'>
<defvar name='MembersNames'>
<list/>
</defvar>
<dolist name='person'>
<invoke class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil' name='getResourceObjects'>
<ref>context</ref>
<<s>User<</s>
<<s>Simu1<</s>
<map>
<<s>searchFilter<</s>
<<s>
(typeTest=type1)
<</s>
</map>
</invoke>
<append name='MembersNames'>
<concat>
<ref>person.waveset.accountId</ref>
<<s>:Lighthouse<</s>
</concat>
</append>
</dolist>
<ref>MembersNames</ref>
</block>
</defvar>
<ref>Members</ref>
</Rule>
This doesn't work, the "getResourceObjects" method returns null...
Then I tried replacing the "searchFilter" option with a "searchAttrsToGet = typeTest" option, but this throws the following exception :
com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method getResourceObjects on class com.waveset.ui.FormUtil
==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Unsupported option 'searchAttrsToGet'.
However the "searchAttrsToGet" option is listed in the Javadoc of Sun IDM !
I can't grasp why this doesn't work... Has any of you tried to do something similar, to give me an example ?
Thanks,
Alexis

Answer 1

This doesn't work, the "getResourceObjects" method returns null...The method responsible for listing objects in SimulatedResourceAdapter.java looks like this, sorry:
     public ArrayList listObjects(String type, Map options) {
         // ArrayList result = null;
         // return new ArrayList(_objects.keySet());
         return null;
     }
