    • Field Detail

      • RESPONSE_TYPES

        static final MessageTypeEnum[] RESPONSE_TYPES
        Different response types that a search request may return. A search request unlike any other request type can generate four different kinds of responses. It is at most required to return a done response when it is complete however before then it can return search entry, search reference, and extended responses to the client.

        Parameters:
        entriesMax - maximum search result entries to return.

        Returns:
        the search time limit in seconds.

      • setTimeLimit

        SearchRequest setTimeLimit​(int secondsMax)
        Sets the timelimit that restricts the maximum time (in seconds) allowed for a search. A value of 0 in this field indicates that no client- requested timelimit restrictions are in effect for the search.
        Parameters:
        secondsMax - the search time limit in seconds.
        Returns:

      • getTypesOnly

        boolean getTypesOnly()
        An indicator as to whether search results will contain both attribute types and values, or just attribute types. Setting this field to TRUE causes only attribute types (no values) to be returned. Setting this field to FALSE causes both attribute types and values to be returned.

        Parameters:
        typesOnly - true for only types, false for types and values.
        Returns:

        Parameters:
        filter - the expression node for the root of the filter expression tree.
        Returns:
        The SearchRequest instance
        Throws:
        LdapException - If the filter can't be added

      • getAttributes

        List<String> getAttributes()
        Gets a list of the attributes to be returned from each entry which matches the search filter. There are two special values which may be used: an empty list with no attributes, and the attribute description string "*". Both of these signify that all user attributes are to be returned. (The "*" allows the client to request all user attributes in addition to specific operational attributes). Attributes MUST be named at most once in the list, and are returned at most once in an entry. If there are attribute descriptions in the list which are not recognized, they are ignored by the server. If the client does not want any attributes returned, it can specify a list containing only the attribute with OID "1.1". This OID was chosen arbitrarily and does not correspond to any attribute in use. Client implementors should note that even if all user attributes are requested, some attributes of the entry may not be included in search results due to access control or other restrictions. Furthermore, servers will not return operational attributes, such as objectClasses or attributeTypes, unless they are listed by name, since there may be extremely large number of values for certain operational attributes.
        Returns:
        the attributes to return for this request

      • addAttributes

        SearchRequest addAttributes​(String... attributes)

      • removeAttribute

        SearchRequest removeAttribute​(String attribute)
        Removes an attribute to the set of entry attributes to return.
        Parameters:
        attribute - the attribute description or identifier.
        Returns:
        The SearchRequest instance
