Yes, as far as the convention is concerned, one would express it
as
GET
/printers?_s=cartridges.colour=blue
then at the the next stage it depends if a typed model already exists,
if yes, then it can work OOB with for ex JPA2 CXF visitor.
In case of Syncope the model is dynamic, hence the custom Syncope
visitor deals with a string such 'cartridges.colour=blue' itself but at
the moment it does not attach any significance to a '.'.
It will need to be enhanced for it to process '.' and build a more
sophisticated Natve JPA query. It is doable, I agree with Francesco it
will be more involved...
I propose that at least we create a JIRA to track the enhancement request.
I can experiment at the CXF level to enhance its SQLPrinterVisitor to
see what sort of processing can be required, I'm certain it can be done

Thanks for the feedback guys! Let me just expand a bit on the motivation
behind my previous example....
Let's say I'm managing hundreds of printers each of which have a
relationship to a cartridge (of which there are many hundreds) with a
colour attribute. I want to find the printers with a blue cartridge.
So I first make a search for a list of "blue" cartridges. Then I search for
the printers that have a relationship with these cartridges. The problem is
on the second search I end up with a ginormous search expression
"relationships%3D%3D7db4512-ad25-40e8-bc78-63ad25c0e894%2C%24relationships%3D%3D16dc6acd-6.....".
" that could be an invalid URL.
Is there a better way of handling it than this?

Hi Francesco
One thing I can point to is this code:
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/rt/rs/extensions/s
earch/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxrs/ext/search/jpa/Abst
ractJPATypedQueryVisitor.java#L167
There, in the end,
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/rt/rs/extensions/s
earch/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxrs/ext/search/jpa/Abst
ractJPATypedQueryVisitor.java#L181
it branches to either doBuildPredicate() (==> similar to Syncope
SearchCondVisitor.visitPrimitive) or doBuildCollectionPredicate()
When we have "a.b.c" then if 'b' is a collection then it would branch to
doBuildCollectionPredicate.
It was awhile back since I played with the typed JPA2 code, Native one is
a mystery...
I agree supporting such queries is not easy...but supporting then can
offer an ultimate search experience :-)
Cheers, Sergey

Hi Francesco
Thanks for the explanation.
I see why the example I pointed to won't be applicable to Syncope.
In that case when the linked beans are available, CXF
AbstractSearchParser will prepare a bean tree which would be initialized
with the values from the expression like "a.b.c" and the OOB visitor like
JPA2 one takes care of dealing with these linked beans.
In the SearchBean case it is up to the custom visitor whether to react
to the '.'s or not where a '.' indicates that for ex 'a' needs to have 'b'
with a property 'c'.
Do you reckon Syncope custom visitors can be updated to support such
queries ? Not sure about ElasticSearch but for SQL it should probably be
possible...
Maybe in principle yes, it could be possible to support such queries but:
1. implementation would be rather complex as the query logic is already
quite involved
2. we haven't had may requests for such complex queries so far
...anyway, as you know, volunteers are welcome :-)

Hi
I think something similar works for a CXF FIQL JPA2 visitor, for
example:
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/rt/rs/extensions/s
earch/src/test/java/org/apache/cxf/jaxrs/ext/search/jpa/JPAT
ypedQueryVisitorFiqlTest.java#L65
(find the books which have been revied done by Ted)
Hi Sergey,
that would work if we had straight beans as in the linked sample.
Syncope data model is instead much more involved as new schema for
attributes can be defined at runtime: this is the reason why we have
SearchCondVisitor [1] translating FIQL into our internal search conditions,
which serve as input to one of available implementations of AnySearchDAO
like as the default one based on SQL views [2] and another relying on
Elasticsearch-based [3].
Regards.

Thanks Francesco! On a related note, let's say I have some AnyObjects
(Printer) with a relationship to other AnyObjects (Cartridge). Now I
want
to search for a Printer which has a relationship with a Cartridge
with a
"colour" attribute of "blue". Is there a way to do this via a FIQL
expression?
No, you cannot express such condition ATM; you could do for example:
SyncopeClient.getAnyObjectSearchConditionBuilder("PRINTER").
inRelationships("ce75249b-76e4-44b6-88ae-0841846faceb").
and().is("colour").equalTo("blue").query();
which translates to FIQL
$type==PRINTER;$relationships==ce75249b-76e4-44b6-88ae-0841846faceb;colour==blue
but this would rather search for blue printers having a relationship
with an any object with key 'ce75249b-76e4-44b6-88ae-0841846faceb'.
or alternatively
SyncopeClient.getAnyObjectSearchConditionBuilder("PRINTER").
inRelationshipTypes("WITH_CARTDRIGE").
and().is("color").equalTo("blue").query();
which translates to FIQL
$type==PRINTER;$relationshipTypes==WITH_CARTDRIGE;color==blue
but this would rather search for blue printers having a relationship
on type WITH_CARTDRIGE.
Regards.

Hi all,
How can I retrieve a list of AnyObjects? The following returns a
400:
curl -I -X GET -u admin:password
http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/anyObjects
You must at least provide the AnyType, e.g.
http://localhost:9080/syncope/rest/anyObjects;fiql=%24type%3
D%3DPRINTER
Regards.
