@Mutable @ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE) public final class SubstringJSONObjectFilter extends JSONObjectFilter
This class provides an implementation of a JSON object filter that can be used to identify JSON objects that have string value that matches a specified substring. At least one of the startsWith, contains, and endsWith components must be included in the filter. If multiple substring components are present, then any matching value must contain all of those components, and the components must not overlap.
NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

The fields that are required to be included in a "substring" filter are:
  • field -- A field path specifier for the JSON field for which to make the determination. This may be either a single string or an array of strings as described in the "Targeting Fields in JSON Objects" section of the class-level documentation for JSONObjectFilter.
The fields that may optionally be included in a "substring" filter are:
  • startsWith -- A string that must appear at the beginning of matching values.
  • contains -- A string, or an array of strings, that must appear in matching values. If this is an array of strings, then a matching value must contain all of these strings in the order provided in the array.
  • endsWith -- A string that must appear at the end of matching values.
  • caseSensitive -- Indicates whether string values should be treated in a case-sensitive manner. If present, this field must have a Boolean value of either true or false. If it is not provided, then a default value of false will be assumed so that strings are treated in a case-insensitive manner.

Examples

The following is an example of a substring filter that will match any JSON object with a top-level field named "accountCreateTime" with a string value that starts with "2015": 
   { "filterType" : "substring",
     "field" : "accountCreateTime",
     "startsWith" : "2015" }
The above filter can be created with the code: 
   SubstringJSONObjectFilter filter =
        new SubstringJSONObjectFilter("accountCreateTime", "2015", null,
             null);


The following is an example of a substring filter that will match any JSON object with a top-level field named "fullName" that contains the substrings "John" and "Doe", in that order, somewhere in the value: 
   { "filterType" : "substring",
     "field" : "fullName",
     "contains" : [ "John", "Doe" ] }
The above filter can be created with the code: 
   SubstringJSONObjectFilter filter =
        new SubstringJSONObjectFilter(Collections.singletonList("fullName"),
             null, Arrays.asList("John", "Doe"), null);

    • SubstringJSONObjectFilter

      public SubstringJSONObjectFilter(@NotNull String field, @Nullable String startsWith, @Nullable String contains, @Nullable String endsWith)
      Creates a new instance of this filter type with the provided information. At least one startsWith, contains, or endsWith value must be present.
      Parameters:
      field - The name of the top-level field to target with this filter. It must not be null . See the class-level documentation for the JSONObjectFilter class for information about field path specifiers.
      startsWith - An optional substring that must appear at the beginning of matching values. This may be null if matching will be performed using only contains and/or endsWith substrings.
      contains - An optional substring that must appear somewhere in matching values. This may be null if matching will be performed using only startsWith and/or endsWith substrings.
      endsWith - An optional substring that must appear at the end of matching values. This may be null if matching will be performed using only startsWith and/or contains substrings.
