Getting group membership

Use the get(DataObject) method and the GroupMembershipControl to show what groups an entity belongs to.

About this task

In this example, the request is to show the groups that Person SalesManager belongs to.
To request the groups that Person SalesManager belongs to, add this sample code to your application code and replace the variables with the actual values that you want to use for this entity:
DataObject root = SDOHelper.createRootDataObject();
DataObject entity = SDOHelper.createEntityDataObject(root, null, 
                         DO_PERSON_ACCOUNT);
entity.createDataObject(DO_IDENTIFIER).setString(PROP_UNIQUE_NAME,
                      "uid=SalesManager,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com");			
DataObject grpMbrshipCtrl = SDOHelper.createControlDataObject(root, null, 
                         DO_GROUP_MEMBERSHIP_CONTROL); 
// Retrieve cn attribute for all groups
grpMbrshipCtrl.getList(PROP_PROPERTIES).add("cn");
		
DataObject outRoot = service.get(root);

Sample input and output data graphs

For this particular example the input data graph is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sdo:datagraph xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:sdo="commonj.sdo" 
               xmlns:wim="http://www.ibm.com/websphere/wim">
  <wim:Root>
    <wim:entities xsi:type="wim:PersonAccount">
      <wim:identifier uniqueName="uid=SalesManager,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com"/>
    </wim:entities>
    <wim:controls xsi:type="wim:GroupMembershipControl">
      <wim:properties>cn</wim:properties>
    </wim:controls>
  </wim:Root>
</sdo:datagraph>
The resulting output data graph for this example is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sdo:datagraph xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:sdo="commonj.sdo" 
               xmlns:wim="http://www.ibm.com/websphere/wim">
  <wim:Root>
    <wim:entities xsi:type="wim:PersonAccount">
      <wim:identifier externalName="uid=SalesManager,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com" 
                      repositoryId="LDAP1"
                      uniqueId="5e846c20-a1b4-4bfc-bce2-1f841d762f9a" 
                      uniqueName="uid=SalesManager,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com"/>
      <wim:groups>
        <wim:identifier externalName="cn=Managers,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com" 
                        repositoryId="LDAP1"
                        uniqueId="6e45af37-bc3f-4260-af27-666e1ebdbda2" 
                        uniqueName="cn=Managers,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com"/>
        <wim:cn>Managers</wim:cn>
      </wim:groups>
    </wim:entities>
  </wim:Root>
</sdo:datagraph>
