Thanks Chris. I think I can work it out from there. I'll respond back if I'm stuck.

Dave, there is a AttributeAssignFinder object which I had hoped would have a .findByName or .findByDef perhaps with a bitwise parameter to specify the object type(s) desired. I've put in a Jira for this feature: https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1042

Thanks all.

Yipes!  Seems we need a simple AttributeFinder class that will just find the things an attribute is assigned to similiar to how we have SubjectFinder or GroupFinder.  In our Grouper here @ Chicago we're particularly fond of the TypeFinder.

We probably need more straightforward ways to query this… anyways, e.g. for stems you can do this:

 

    Set<AttributeAssign> attributeAssigns = GrouperDAOFactory.getFactory()

      .getAttributeAssign().findStemAttributeAssignments(null, null, GrouperUtil.toSet(attributeDefName.getId()), null, null, true, false);

Then from there, collate all the stemIds from the attribute assign objects, and do a quey to get those (I think StemFinder chaining can do that)

 

Let me know if you need more info or an example J

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] Locating Stems and Groups with an Attribute Assigned

 

Hi all,

Using the API (via ChangeLog Consumer) in 2.2, I'm trying to locate stems and groups that have a particular AttributeName assigned to them. After inspecting both the AttributeDef and the AttributeDefName objects in a debugger, few promising methods/properties return sets that have zero entries even though I know I have assigned an attribute assigned to a stem and group.

Surely, I don't need to recursively walk the tree to find them all?!?

Please point me in the correct direction.

Thanks,
John
