Entry
Each entry in Penrose is represented by an EntryMapping object. The following code creates an entry:
EntryMapping entryMapping = new EntryMapping(); entryMapping.setDn("dc=Example,dc=com");
The above entry is static, meaning this particular EntryMapping will generate exactly one entry in Penrose tree.
To create a dynamic entry, use the "..." in the DN:
EntryMapping entryMapping = new EntryMapping(); entryMapping.setDn("uid=...,ou=Users,dc=Example,dc=com");
Object Class
The following code adds object classes into an entry:
entryMapping.addObjectClass("person"); entryMapping.addObjectClass("organizationalPerson"); entryMapping.addObjectClass("inetOrgPerson");
Attribute
The following code creates an attribute:
AttributeMapping attributeMapping = new AttributeMapping(); attributeMapping.setName("dc");
If this attribute is used in the RDN, you should mark it as follows:
attributeMapping.setRdn(true);
Each attribute has a value. There are 3 types of values:
- constant
- variable
- expression
To set a constant value:
attributeMapping.setType(AttributeMapping.CONSTANT);
attributeMapping.setConstant("Example");
To set a variable:
attributeMapping.setType(AttributeMapping.VARIABLE);
attributeMapping.setVariable("users.firstName");
To set an expression:
Expression expression = new Expression(); expression.setScript("users.firstName+\" \"+users.lastName"); attributeMapping.setType(AttributeMapping.EXPRESSION); attributeMapping.setExpression(expression);
See also Expressions.
Then add the attribute to the entry:
entryMapping.addAttributeMapping(attributeMapping);
Partition
When all of the components are complete, you can add the entry to a partition:
partition.addEntryMapping(entryMapping);
