[midPoint] search using midpoint script library

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Paul,

yes, midpoint.searchObjects can be used to implement that.

An example that I was able to create is this:

<expression>
     <script>
         <code>
import com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.query.EqualFilter
import com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.query.ObjectQuery
import javax.xml.namespace.QName
import com.evolveum.midpoint.xml.ns._public.common.common_3.UserType

prismContext = 
midpoint.createEmptyObject(UserType.class).asPrismObject().getPrismContext() 
// temporary solution until there's a midpoint.getPrismContext() method

log.info("Trying to find a user with a nickname = {}", input)
filter = EqualFilter.createEqual(new QName("nickName"), UserType.class, 
prismContext, null, input)
query = ObjectQuery.createObjectQuery(filter)
list = midpoint.searchObjects(UserType.class, query)
if (list.size() > 0) {
     'Found: ' + list.get(0).getFamilyName()
} else {
     'Nothing found'
}
         </code>
     </script>
</expression>

(Yes, I know it's a bit ugly. :-) Maybe someone could find a nicer 
solution.)

This specific script is used as an inbound expression for an attribute. 
It tries to find a user with a nickName (chosen as an example) equals to 
the value of the attribute.
And then it uses a user's familyName attribute to construct the return 
value.

I suppose we don't have anything like this in our examples because it is 
quite a non-usual thing - to search midPoint repository from within a 
mapping. Other aspects aside, I think it would be quite slow to execute. 
Maybe there would be some other way how to achieve what you'd like to do.

What exactly is your scenario, your requirement?

Best regards,
Pavol
