[midPoint] Groovy Expression - ObjectQuery - Midpoint 4.0+

[Loïc Schamber]

Hi everybody,

Today I needed to retrieve the list of all approver for a role in a groovy Script ( For a policy rule  constraint), sadly I struggle to achieve my goal.
I already have my RoleType object and all I need to do is to find all approver for it.

I looked thought the Javadoc do find a way to retrieve this information. There is no method on RoleType objects, nor in the MidpointFunction interface. So I wated to use “midpoint.searchObjects<https://www.evolveum.com/downloads/midpoint/4.1/midpoint-api-4.1-javadoc/com/evolveum/midpoint/model/api/expr/MidpointFunctions.html#searchObjects(java.lang.Class,com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.query.ObjectQuery)>​(Class<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Class.html?is-external=true><T> type, ObjectQuery<https://www.evolveum.com/downloads/midpoint/4.1/midpoint-api-4.1-javadoc/com/evolveum/midpoint/prism/query/ObjectQuery.html> query)” method but I don’t understand how to create the ObjectQuery.

I looked on the documentation / Mailing list archive:

  *   https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Query+API#QueryAPI-Filterclassification
  *   https://lists.evolveum.com/pipermail/midpoint/2015-March/000938.html
  *   https://lists.evolveum.com/pipermail/midpoint/2018-October/005030.html
But I fear they may not be accurate anymore.

According to the Documentation there is two way to create ObjectQuery objects:

·         Traditional Java API : ObjectQuery.createObjectQuery(AllFilter.createAll());

·         Fluent Java API: QueryBuilder.queryFor(UserType.class,midpoint.getPrismContext()).item(UserType.F_ROLE_MEMBERSHIP_REF).ref("xxxxxxxx-0000-0000-0000-xxxxxxxxxxxx").build();


However I cannot find QueryBuilder or ObjectQuery classes in the 4.0+ documentation. It seems that they were located in the packages “com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.query” and “com.evolveum.midpoint.prism.query.builder” until 4.0.
In 4.0 there interfaces that replaces theses classes. I searched for a prism.query.impl packages, with no success either.

Can you explain me how we should use the searchObjects method in 4.0+?
Moreover I am not sure how to specify “approver” relationship with the JAVA API, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Best regards.
