Java examples in SailPoint Examples

Java examples

Example Java using the IdentityIQ API/context.

Quick answer

These Java examples show using the SailPoint context to query objects programmatically inside IdentityIQ.

Key takeaways

Using SailPointContext
Querying objects
Committing changes
Run within IIQ or a plugin

Server-side Java in IdentityIQ uses the SailPointContext to read and write objects. These examples show the fundamental pattern used inside rules, tasks and plugins.

Load and read an identity

import sailpoint.object.Identity;
Identity id = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class, "jdoe");
if (id != null) {
  String dept = id.getStringAttribute("department");
  Identity mgr = id.getManager();
}

Query with a filter

import sailpoint.object.*;
QueryOptions qo = new QueryOptions();
qo.addFilter(Filter.eq("department", "Finance"));
Iterator it = context.search(Identity.class, qo);

Guidance

Use context.search with projection for large result sets.
Decache in long loops to avoid memory build-up.
Commit deliberately, only when you intend to persist.

Common pitfalls

Loading full objects in large loops, exhausting memory.
Forgetting null checks on getObjectByName.
Uncommitted or over-committed changes.
