JBoss ON CLI script returning too many results when using "name" criteria

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (ON) 3.1.2
  • JBoss ON CLI
  • search criteria includes criteria based on the name of an object (for example, a plugin name, resource name, group name, etc)

Issue

  • Using "criteria.addFilterName("abc")" is returning results other than those named "abc"
  • criteria including a name outputs any resources that include the name criteria string

Resolution

"addFilterName" on criteria will match any name that contains the string specified. It is treated as if there is a wildcard both prefixing and suffixing the submitted filter string. If the submitted criteria name is "abc", valid results are "abc", "abcd", "abc123", "123abcd", and any other name that contains the substring "abc". If you need an exact match to the name, you will need to add additional structures to evaluate the results to match the expected name, such as the "if(groups.get(i).name==groupName)" structure in the below example:

var groupName = "abc";
groupcriteria = new ResourceGroupCriteria();
groupcriteria.addFilterName(groupName);
var groups = ResourceGroupManager.findResourceGroupsByCriteria(groupcriteria);

for( i = 0; i < groups.size(); i++) {
   if(groups.get(i).name==groupName) {
      ... do stuff ...
   } 
}
