SPOPS::ClassFactory::LDAP - Create relationships among LDAP objects
In configuration:
my $config = { object => { class => 'My::Object', isa => [ 'SPOPS::LDAP' ], has_a => { 'My::OtherObject' => 'field' }, links_to => { 'My::AnotherObject' => 'uniquemember', 'My::YAObject' => 'myfield', }, }, };
This class implements two types of relationships: 'has_a' and 'links_to'.
See SPOPS::Manual::Configuration for a discussion of the configuration parameters.
Note: Even though the first parameter for all behaviors is $class, they are not class methods. The parameter refers to the class into which the behaviors will be installed.
$class
conf_relate_has_a( $class )
The 'a' part of the 'has_a' term is a bit of a misnomer -- this works whether the property has one or more DNs. It creates a single method named for the alias of the class to which it is linking. So:
group => { class => 'My::Group', isa => [ 'SPOPS::LDAP' ], has_a => { 'My::User' => 'uniquemember' }, }, user => { class => 'My::User', },
Would create a method 'user' so you could do:
my $user_list = $group->user; foreach my $user ( @{ $user_list } ) { print "DN: ", $user->dn, "\n"; }
$alias: Returns an arrayref of objects to which this object is linked.
$alias
$alias_add( \@item_list ): Adds links for this object to every object specified in \@item_list.
$alias_add( \@item_list )
\@item_list
$alias_remove: Removes links to this object from every object specified in \@item_list.
$alias_remove
conf_relate_links_to( $class )
This creates three methods for every entry -- note that \@item_list can be either ID values of objects to add/remove or the objects themselves.
conf_fetch_by( $class )
Do not use the 'fetch_by' implemented by SPOPS (yet), so stop the processing of this slot here.
None known.
Implement 'fetch_by'
Implement 'fetch_by' functionality.
