    • Method Detail

      • getAttributes

        public 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.
        Specified by:
        getAttributes in interface SearchRequest
        Returns:
        the attributes to return for this request

      • getSizeLimit

        public long getSizeLimit()
        A sizelimit that restricts the maximum number of entries to be returned as a result of the search. A value of 0 in this field indicates that no client-requested sizelimit restrictions are in effect for the search. Servers may enforce a maximum number of entries to return.
        Specified by:
        getSizeLimit in interface SearchRequest
        Returns:
        search size limit.

      • setSizeLimit

        public SearchRequest setSizeLimit​(long entriesMax)
        Sets sizelimit that restricts the maximum number of entries to be returned as a result of the search. A value of 0 in this field indicates that no client-requested sizelimit restrictions are in effect for the search. Servers may enforce a maximum number of entries to return.
        Specified by:
        setSizeLimit in interface SearchRequest
        Parameters:
        entriesMax - maximum search result entries to return.
        Returns:
        The SearchRequest instance

      • getTimeLimit

        public int getTimeLimit()
        Gets 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.
        Specified by:
        getTimeLimit in interface SearchRequest
        Returns:
        the search time limit in seconds.

      • setTimeLimit

        public 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.
        Specified by:
        setTimeLimit in interface SearchRequest
        Parameters:
        secondsMax - the search time limit in seconds.
        Returns:
        The SearchRequest instance

      • getTypesOnly

        public 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.
        Specified by:
        getTypesOnly in interface SearchRequest
        Returns:
        true for only types, false for types and values.

      • setTypesOnly

        public SearchRequest setTypesOnly​(boolean typesOnly)
        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.
        Specified by:
        setTypesOnly in interface SearchRequest
        Parameters:
        typesOnly - true for only types, false for types and values.
        Returns:
        The SearchRequest instance

      • addAttributes

        public SearchRequest addAttributes​(String... attributesToAdd)
        Adds some attributes to the set of entry attributes to return.
        Specified by:
        addAttributes in interface SearchRequest
        Parameters:

        The SearchRequest instance

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object obj)
        Checks to see if two search requests are equal. The Lockable properties and the get/set context specific parameters are not consulted to determine equality. The filter expression tree comparison will normalize the child order of filter branch nodes then generate a string representation which is comparable. For the time being this is a very costly operation.
        Overrides:
        equals in class AbstractRequest
        Parameters:
        obj - the object to check for equality to this SearchRequest
        Returns:
        true if the obj is a SearchRequest and equals this SearchRequest, false otherwise
