Class SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    @NotMutable
    @ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE)
    public final class SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl
    extends Control
    This class provides a request control which may be included in a search request to indicate that soft-deleted entries may be included in the results, or it may be included in a compare or modify request to indicate that the operation should operate against the target entry even if it is a soft-deleted entry.
    NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

    The criticality for this control may be either TRUE or FALSE, but this will only impact how the delete request is to be handled by servers which do not support this control. A criticality of TRUE will cause any server which does not support this control to reject the request, while a criticality of FALSE should cause the request to be processed as if the control had not been included.

    The control may optionally have a value. If a value is provided, then it must be the encoded representation of the following ASN.1 element:
       SoftDeleteAccessRequestValue ::= SEQUENCE {
         includeNonSoftDeletedEntries     [0] BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
         returnEntriesInUndeletedForm     [1] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
         ... }
     
    See the documentation for the SoftDeleteRequestControl class for an example demonstrating the use of this control.

    • Constructor Detail

      • SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl

        public SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl()
        Creates a new soft-deleted entry access request control with the default settings for all elements. It will not be marked critical.
      • SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl

        public SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl​(boolean isCritical,
                                                    boolean includeNonSoftDeletedEntries,
                                                    boolean returnEntriesInUndeletedForm)
        Creates a new soft delete request control with the provided information.
        Parameters:
        isCritical - Indicates whether this control should be marked critical. This will only have an effect on the way the associated delete operation is handled by servers which do NOT support the soft-deleted entry access request control. For such servers, a control that is critical will cause associated request to be rejected, while a control that is not critical will be processed as if the control was not included in the request.
        includeNonSoftDeletedEntries - Indicates whether search results should include non-soft-deleted entries if they match the criteria for the associated search request.
        returnEntriesInUndeletedForm - Indicates whether soft-deleted entries returned in search results should be returned in the form in which they would appear if they were undeleted. Note that if soft-deleted entries should be returned in their undeleted form, then it may be possible for multiple entries to be returned with the same DN (if multiple soft-deleted entries with the same original DN match the criteria, or if at least one soft-deleted entry and one normal entry with the same DN both match the search criteria).
      • SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl

        public SoftDeletedEntryAccessRequestControl​(@NotNull
                                                    Control control)
                                             throws LDAPException
        Creates a new soft-deleted entry access request control which is decoded from the provided generic control.
        Parameters:
        control - The generic control to be decoded as a soft-deleted entry access request control.
        Throws:
        LDAPException - If the provided control cannot be decoded as a soft-deleted entry access request control.
    • Method Detail

      • includeNonSoftDeletedEntries

        public boolean includeNonSoftDeletedEntries()
        Indicates whether search results should include non-soft-deleted entries if they match the criteria for the associated search request.
        Returns:
        true if the server should return any "normal" non-soft-deleted entries that match the search criteria, or false if the server should only return soft-deleted entries that match the search criteria.
      • returnEntriesInUndeletedForm

        public boolean returnEntriesInUndeletedForm()
        Indicates whether soft-deleted entries returned in search results should be returned in the form in which they would appear if they were undeleted. Note that if soft-deleted entries should be returned in their undeleted form, then it may be possible for multiple entries to be returned with the same DN (if multiple soft-deleted entries with the same original DN match the criteria, or if at least one soft-deleted entry and one normal entry with the same DN both match the search criteria).
        Returns:
        false if soft-deleted entries should be returned in their current form as soft-deleted entries, or true if they should be returned in the form in which they would appear if they were undeleted (e.g., using the original DN for the entry and without all the additional meta-attributes added during the soft delete process).
      • getControlName

        @NotNull
        public java.lang.String getControlName()
        Retrieves the user-friendly name for this control, if available. If no user-friendly name has been defined, then the OID will be returned.
        Overrides:
        getControlName in class Control
        Returns:
        The user-friendly name for this control, or the OID if no user-friendly name is available.
      • toString

        public void toString​(@NotNull
                             java.lang.StringBuilder buffer)
        Appends a string representation of this LDAP control to the provided buffer.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Control
        Parameters:
        buffer - The buffer to which to append the string representation of this buffer.
