Exception while patch of EnterpriseUser details

[harpreet86]

After using Apache Scimple in my SpringBoot application, I tried to test it via scim2-tester but it failed in all patch operations of Enterprise user with below exception.

ERROR check_replace_attribute Failed to replace attribute 'urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User:costCenter': The server returned a SCIM Error object: Cannot invoke "java.util.Map.get(Object)" because "sourceAsMap" is null

After analyzing, I checked that while create operation I persisted org.apache.directory.scim.spec.resources.ScimUser in database and all details got saved including enterprise User extension ones correctly but while deserializing the same into org.apache.directory.scim.spec.resources.ScimUser it does not read extensions attribute.

Please suggest.

@harpreet86 Thanks for the Report.
Can you include the JSON payload that was sent by scim2-tester ?

Hi @bdemers

I am getting below in payload in patch request:

when I use patchHandler.apply using this payload and deserializing already persisted ScimUser object, it fails with exception.

Also, I tried to customized deserialization logic to populate value in extensions attribute.

It started giving further errors like below
ERROR check_add_attribute Failed to add attribute 'manager': The server returned a SCIM Error object: Unrecognized field "urn" (class org.apache.directory.scim.spec.extension.EnterpriseExtension), not marked as ignorable at [Source: UNKNOWN; byte offset: #UNKNOWN] (through reference chain: <my-project-java-package>.ExtendedScimUser["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User"]) {'urn': 'manager', 'error': SCIMResponseErrorObject(), 'patch_value': '16257a94-8b8c-4917-b0f6-b9b425359d26'}

the payload for one such request I received here is as below:

There is another patch request that has path has "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User", operation is "REPLACE", and value is LinkedHashMap containing values for EnterpriseExtension class attributes.

It fails at the highlighted line with schema as null.

Please also suggest here.

Thanks for the added context, any chance you have the actual payload json? I'd like to make sure we can add a test for this case.

Hi @bdemers , for the exact one I need to dive into scim2-tester because it runs all tests just using one command after installation.
Reference for scim2-tester: https://scim2-tester.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

But for your reference, the payload looks like:
[ { "op": "replace", "path": "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User:costCenter", "value": "36f2ae8d-8d1f-4bd7-a90d-477aa47084d0" } ]

or

[ { "op": "replace", "path": "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User", "value": { "employeeNumber": "123", "costCenter": "Finance", "organization": "ABC", "division": "Manufacturing", "department": "Engineering", "manager": { "$ref": "M1", "value": "Manager User", "displayName": "Test Manager" } } } ]

Also, can you please suggest by when we can expect this to be enhanced/fixed as we need to plan our releases accordingly?

@harpreet86, I cannot reproduce this on the current develop branch. Which version are you using? Can you try this again with the develop branch?

[harpreet86]

Using version 1.0.0-M1 available at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.directory.scimple/scim-core

Ahh, i see. try with the latest code from the develop branch. And let us know if this is resolved!
