Hi Francesco

Thanks for the explanation.

I see why the example I pointed to won't be applicable to Syncope.
In that case when the linked beans are available, CXF AbstractSearchParser will prepare a bean tree which would be initialized with the values from the expression like "a.b.c" and the OOB visitor like JPA2 one takes care of dealing with these linked beans.

In the SearchBean case it is up to the custom visitor whether to react to the '.'s or not where a '.' indicates that for ex 'a' needs to have 'b' with a property 'c'.

Do you reckon Syncope custom visitors can be updated to support such queries ? Not sure about ElasticSearch but for SQL it should probably be possible...

Maybe in principle yes, it could be possible to support such queries but:

1. implementation would be rather complex as the query logic is already quite involved
2. we haven't had may requests for such complex queries so far

...anyway, as you know, volunteers are welcome :-)

Regards.

Hi

I think something similar works for a CXF FIQL JPA2 visitor, for example:

https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/rt/rs/extensions/search/src/test/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxrs/ext/search/jpa/JPATypedQueryVisitorFiqlTest.java#L65

(find the books which have been revied done by Ted)

Hi Sergey,
that would work if we had straight beans as in the linked sample.

Syncope data model is instead much more involved as new schema for attributes can be defined at runtime: this is the reason why we have SearchCondVisitor [1] translating FIQL into our internal search conditions, which serve as input to one of available implementations of AnySearchDAO like as the default one based on SQL views [2] and another relying on Elasticsearch-based [3].

Thanks Francesco! On a related note, let's say I have some AnyObjects
(Printer) with a relationship to other AnyObjects (Cartridge). Now I want to search for a Printer which has a relationship with a Cartridge with a
"colour" attribute of "blue". Is there a way to do this via a FIQL
expression?

No, you cannot express such condition ATM; you could do for example:

SyncopeClient.getAnyObjectSearchConditionBuilder("PRINTER").
inRelationships("ce75249b-76e4-44b6-88ae-0841846faceb").
                 and().is("colour").equalTo("blue").query();

which translates to FIQL

$type==PRINTER;$relationships==ce75249b-76e4-44b6-88ae-0841846faceb;colour==blue

but this would rather search for blue printers having a relationship with an any object with key 'ce75249b-76e4-44b6-88ae-0841846faceb'.

or alternatively

SyncopeClient.getAnyObjectSearchConditionBuilder("PRINTER").
                 inRelationshipTypes("WITH_CARTDRIGE").
                 and().is("color").equalTo("blue").query();

which translates to FIQL

$type==PRINTER;$relationshipTypes==WITH_CARTDRIGE;color==blue

but this would rather search for blue printers having a relationship on type WITH_CARTDRIGE.

Regards.

Hi all,

How can I retrieve a list of AnyObjects? The following returns a 400:

curl -I -X GET -u admin:password
http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/anyObjects

You must at least provide the AnyType, e.g.

http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/anyObjects;fiql=%24type%3D%3DPRINTER

Regards.
