Ok, I get a fixed version of the setFilter( String ) that produces this output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<batchRequest xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
   <searchRequest derefAliases="derefAlways">
      <filter>
         <equalityMatch name="uid">
            <value/>
         </equalityMatch>
         <equalityMatch name="uid">
<value xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary">U29tZUFyYml0cmFyeUJlbmlnblN0cmluZw==</value>
         </equalityMatch>
      </filter>
   </searchRequest>
</batchRequest>

As youc an imagine, "U29tZUFyYml0cmFyeUJlbmlnblN0cmluZw==" is "SomeArbitraryBenignString" base 64 encoded.


Should it do the trick?

Thanks Emmanuel!

Using a SchemaManager solved my immediate problem. However, now I need to provide a custom Schema, since I need to query domain specific OIDs. Before, the library was happy with arbitrary OIDs, and so was I :).

Addressing the easy API life, org.apache.directory.api.dsmlv2.request.SearchRequestDsml.setFilter(String) seems broken to me, as this code path does not produce the expected output, and this is not obvious in any way, not to say that the semantic of this method changed without notice. Ideally, this method would not exist, but since it is required by the implemented interface, that is not easily achieved, and a bigger refactoring would be needed. That said, I, of course, do not have a deep understanding of your code base, so please take my suggestion with a grain of salt ;).

Thanks for the improved setFilter(SchemaManager, String) method, albeit it is secondary to me, compared to the changed semantics of setFilter(String), and the extra setup needed to be able to query arbitrary OIDs. To better illustrate what I mean, here is one of the filters which is currently broken for me: "(hcIdentifier=*1.3.6.1.4.1.21367.1776:IHENA:A-919191:Active*)"

I am currently in the process of figuring out an easy way to add the required OIDs to the SchemaManager, and will eventually figure it out, but if you have any hints, I'd be grateful :).

Cheers,
Patrick

    Hi again!

    I have modified the LDAP API to be able to deal with the attributeType
    properly when we have a SchemaManager, and to do so in a more user
    friendly way.

    Here is thge modified original test:

          @Test
          public void testMinimalEqualityRequest() throws Exception {
              SearchRequestDsml searchRequest = new
    SearchRequestDsml(LdapApiServiceFactory.getSingleton());

             // Create the SchemaManager instance
              SchemaManager schemaManager = new DefaultSchemaManager();

             // Use it as a parameter so that the filter get properly parsed
              searchRequest.setFilter( schemaManager,
    "(uid=SomeArbitraryBenignString)" );


              BatchRequestDsml batchRequest = new BatchRequestDsml();
              batchRequest.addRequest(searchRequest);
              String dsmlString = batchRequest.toDsml();

             System.out.print( dsmlString );
          }

    which prints out the expected result:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <batchRequest>
         <searchRequest derefAliases="derefAlways">
            <filter>
               <equalityMatch name="uid">
                  <value>SomeArbitraryBenignString</value>
               </equalityMatch>
            </filter>
         </searchRequest>
    </batchRequest>

    It will most certainly be included in 2.1.6.
