Assign entities to a group

Use the update(DataObject) method and GroupMemberControl to assign one or more entities to a group.

About this task

This example shows how to assign SalesPerson1 and SalesPerson2 to the group, Managers. In this example, SalesPerson1 and SalesPerson2 are passed using the members property of the Managers.

These calls are MODIFY_MODE_ASSIGN by default, that is, membership is not being replaced but added to by the call.

To add SalesPerson1 and SalesPerson2 to Managers, add this sample code to you application code and replace the variables with the actual values that to use for this request:

DataObject root = SDOHelper.createRootDataObject();
DataObject entity = SDOHelper.createEntityDataObject(root, null, DO_GROUP);
entity.createDataObject(DO_IDENTIFIER).set(PROP_UNIQUE_NAME,
                         "cn=Managers,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com");

DataObject member1 = SDOHelper.createDataObject(WIM_NS_URI, DO_ENTITY);
member1.createDataObject(DO_IDENTIFIER).setString(PROP_UNIQUE_NAME,
          "uid=SalesPerson1,ou=CA,o=Sales,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com");
DataObject member2 = SDOHelper.createDataObject(WIM_NS_URI, DO_ENTITY);

member2.createDataObject(DO_IDENTIFIER).setString(PROP_UNIQUE_NAME,
          "uid=SalesPerson2,ou=CA,o=Sales,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com");

entity.getList(DO_MEMBERS).add(member1);
entity.getList(DO_MEMBERS).add(member2);

root = service.update(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="//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:sdo="commonj.sdo"
               xmlns:wim="//www.ibm.com/websphere/wim">
<wim:Root>
<wim:entities xsi:type="wim:Group">
<wim:identifier uniqueName="cn=Managers,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com"/>
<wim:members>  
<wim:identifier uniqueName="uid=SalesPerson1,ou=CA,o=Sales,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com"/>
</wim:members>
<wim:members>  
<wim:identifier uniqueId="a3f9e8a1-117a-4252-840f-6d0cb079a7fb"/>
</wim:members>
</wim:entities>
</wim:Root>
</sdo:datagraph> 

The resulting output data graph for this example is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sdo:datagraph xmlns:xsi="//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:sdo="commonj.sdo"
               xmlns:wim="//www.ibm.com/websphere/wim">
<wim:Root>
<wim:entities xsi:type="wim:Group">
<wim:identifier externalId="6e45af37-bc3f-4260-af27-666e1ebdbda2"
                      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:entities>
</wim:Root>
</sdo:datagraph>
