Java examples

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.
