How to get list of all object of a given type using CA SSO Java sdk

INSTRUCTIONS:

To get a list of all objects of a given type, you can use following method from interface com.netegrity.sdk.policyapi.SmPolicyAPi

SmApiResult getGlobalObjectNames(java.lang.String propName,
                                 java.util.Vector objectNames)
                                 throws SmApiException

Gets a list of global objects.

Parameters:

propName – Property name of the global object.

objectNames – This Vector will be populated with the retrieved list of global objects.

Returns:

The result of the request.

Throws:

SmApiException

As you can see above, this method can be invoked only on Global objects. These are the type of objects which is not a child of any other object. For e.g. Realm is a child Domain object and Rule is a child of Realm object, so Realm and Rule are not a global object. However, Domain itself is a global object as it is not a child of any other object.

Following table list all the global class types and their corresponding property names which is to be used in the getGlobalObjectNames API call.

Sample code :  Get all Agents 

SmApiResult result = new SmApiResult();
SmPolicyApi policyapi = new SmPolicyApiImpl(mySession);
Vector vector = new Vector(15);

//Get List of all Agents
result = policyapi.getGlobalObjectNames("Agents", vector);
System.out.println("Result is success? " + result);
System.out.println("Vector is" + vector.size();

Iterator i = vector.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(i.next());
}
