Compile time error on "Attributes attrs = results[0].getAttributes("");"

[Nitinraj]

Hi ,

I have a scripted field and I am getting an error on

"Attributes attrs = results[0].getAttributes("");". 

Line no. 33 in below code

 

The code runs properly and gives the correct result but I want to remove the error from the line.

That's not a compilation error... it's a "static type checking" error.

They are generally safe to ignore. It just means that the editor is not able to confirm that results[0] yield an object that has a "getAttributes()" method.

So to fix that (not that I would bother... this is groovy code, not java), you would have to look up the javadoc for the classes you are using to get the SearchResult.

Guessing at what the might be since you didn't show the import, I'm thinking this might be in the ballpark:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/naming/directory/SearchResult.html#getAttributes()

If that's correct, then try:

Attributes attrs = results[0].getAttributes(); 

 (no empty quotes inside getAtrributes() since no arguments are requested for that method)

Hi @PD Sheehan ,

Thank you for your reply. Yes it is a static type error.

I have already tried :

Attributes attrs = results[0].getAttributes(); 

But it is not giving expected results. It returns null.

[PD Sheehan]

Can you share the full code (just remove/hide passwords or other binding/private information)?

What you seem to be telling me is that getAttributes("") works, returns the values you expect, but you don't like the static code checking error in the editor.

But when you remove the doubleQuotes, the static code checking errors go away, but the method returns null instead of the data you want.

My advice, in this case, would be to just ignore the static type errors.

But if you share the rest of the code, I can run a couple of tests in my environment and see what I get.

Hi @PD Sheehan ,

I don't want to ignore the static type errors. So I am finding the replacement methods.

Here is the full code.

I try also tried with:

Instead of this:

def results = ad.search('(&(objectClass=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName='+sAMAccountName+'))', '', SearchScope.SUB )

I did:

ArrayList<SearchResult > results =(ArrayList<SearchResult>) ldap.search('(&(objectClass=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName='+sAMAccountNameManager+'))', '', SearchScope.SUB ) ;

But still the same error.

Your help will be appreciated.

Ah ok, this is the method you are calling

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/naming/directory/DirContext.html#getAttributes(java.lang.String)

I was able to get it to work without the static type checking errors by doing this:

def results = ad.search('(&(objectClass=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName='+sAMAccountName+'))', '', SearchScope.SUB ) 
if(results.size()>0){
   def result = results[0] as LdapContext
   Attributes attrs = result.getAttributes('');
}

Hi @PD Sheehan ,

Thanks for your help. It worked for me now.

Thanks again for your kind help :)
