As we discussed yesterday, I'm still in favor of a getEntry() method for retrieving the underlying LDAP representation. I'm still thinking through what the best method signature would be for creating and modifying User objects that have "cargo data" (extra LDAP attributes). I'm liking the idea of a callback more and more. One additional question - if we retrieve a User via the Fortress API, is the underlying inetOrgPerson preserved with the current modify method(s)?

And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore." - Kurt Vonnegut ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Pike" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 12:08:21 PM Subject: Re: Custom object classes and attributes Not through the query builder, I was just suggesting it as an easy way to allow extensible searching. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn McKinney" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2016 10:47:14 AM Subject: Re: Custom object classes and attributes > On Oct 19, 2016, at 9:25 AM, Chris Pike <[email protected]> wrote: > > As far as querying is concerned, if we add a findUsers method that accepts a > query builder.

That will work for the filters but how do we select which attributes to pull back from the entries, and that gets loaded into the result set, will the caller have control of that as well?
