public abstract class ExtendedOperationHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements UnboundIDExtension, Reconfigurable<ExtendedOperationHandlerConfig>, ExampleUsageProvider

This class defines an API that must be implemented by extensions which are used to process extended operations within the server. Extended operations may be used to perform processing which falls outside of that available by the core set of LDAP operations. Each extended request will include a numeric object identifier (OID) which indicates the type of request to be processed, and may also include a value with additional information about the processing to be performed. Each extended operation handler must specify the OIDs of the types of extended requests that it may be used to process.

Configuring Extended Operation Handlers

In order to configure an extended operation handler created using this API, use a command like:

      dsconfig create-extended-operation-handler \
           --handler-name "{handler-name}" \
           --type third-party \
           --set enabled:true \
           --set "extension-class:{class-name}" \
           --set "extension-argument:{name=value}"
 

where "{handler-name}" is the name to use for the extended operation handler instance, "{class-name}" is the fully-qualified name of the Java class that extends com.unboundid.directory.sdk.ds.api.ExtendedOperationHandler, and "{name=value}" represents name-value pairs for any arguments to provide to the extended operation handler. If multiple arguments should be provided to the extended operation handler, then the "--set extension-argument:{name=value}" option should be provided multiple times.

Constructor Detail

ExtendedOperationHandler

public ExtendedOperationHandler()

Creates a new instance of this extended operation handler. All extended operation handler implementations must include a default constructor, but any initialization should generally be done in the initializeExtendedOperationHandler method.

Method Detail

getExtensionName

public abstract java.lang.String getExtensionName()

Retrieves a human-readable name for this extension.

Specified by:

getExtensionName in interface UnboundIDExtension

Returns:

A human-readable name for this extension.

getExtensionDescription

public abstract java.lang.String[] getExtensionDescription()

Retrieves a human-readable description for this extension. Each element of the array that is returned will be considered a separate paragraph in generated documentation.

Specified by:

getExtensionDescription in interface UnboundIDExtension

Returns:

A human-readable description for this extension, or null or an empty array if no description should be available.

defineConfigArguments

public void defineConfigArguments(ArgumentParser parser)
                           throws ArgumentException

Updates the provided argument parser to define any configuration arguments which may be used by this extension. The argument parser may also be updated to define relationships between arguments (e.g., to specify required, exclusive, or dependent argument sets).

Specified by:

defineConfigArguments in interface Configurable

Parameters:

parser - The argument parser to be updated with the configuration arguments which may be used by this extension.

Throws:

ArgumentException - If a problem is encountered while updating the provided argument parser.

initializeExtendedOperationHandler

public void initializeExtendedOperationHandler(DirectoryServerContext serverContext,
                                               ExtendedOperationHandlerConfig config,
                                               ArgumentParser parser)
                                        throws LDAPException

Initializes this extended operation handler.

Parameters:

serverContext - A handle to the server context for the server in which this extension is running.

config - The general configuration for this extended operation handler.

parser - The argument parser which has been initialized from the configuration for this extended operation handler.

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem occurs while initializing this extended operation handler.

isConfigurationAcceptable

public boolean isConfigurationAcceptable(ExtendedOperationHandlerConfig config,
                                         ArgumentParser parser,
                                         java.util.List<java.lang.String> unacceptableReasons)

Indicates whether the configuration represented by the provided argument parser is acceptable for use by this extension. The parser will have been used to parse any configuration available for this extension, and any automatic validation will have been performed. This method may be used to perform any more complex validation which cannot be performed automatically by the argument parser.

Specified by:

isConfigurationAcceptable in interface Reconfigurable<ExtendedOperationHandlerConfig>

Parameters:

config - The general configuration for this extension.

parser - The argument parser that has been used to parse the proposed configuration for this extension.

unacceptableReasons - A list to which messages may be added to provide additional information about why the provided configuration is not acceptable.

Returns:

true if the configuration in the provided argument parser appears to be acceptable, or false if not.

applyConfiguration

public ResultCode applyConfiguration(ExtendedOperationHandlerConfig config,
                                     ArgumentParser parser,

                                     java.util.List<java.lang.String> messages)

Attempts to apply the configuration from the provided argument parser to this extension.

Specified by:

applyConfiguration in interface Reconfigurable<ExtendedOperationHandlerConfig>

Parameters:

config - The general configuration for this extension.

parser - The argument parser that has been used to parse the new configuration for this extension.

messages - A list to which messages may be added to provide additional information about the processing performed by this method.

Returns:

A result code providing information about the result of applying the configuration change. A result of SUCCESS should be used to indicate that all processing completed successfully. Any other result will indicate that a problem occurred during processing.
