Setting COS via SOAP

[liriarte]

I am creating accounts via soap from java. Here is my code (it works):

Element request = Element.XMLElement.mFactory				.createElement(AdminService.CREATE_ACCOUNT_REQUEST);
request.addAttribute(AdminService.E_NAME, name,Element.DISP_CONTENT);
request.addAttribute(AdminService.E_PASSWORD, password, Element.DISP_CONTENT);
Element response = trans.invoke(request);

But I need to set the COS to the accounts and I cant do it. I tried something like this but it didnt work. Either I couldnt set firstname and lastname

request.addAttribute(AdminService.E_COS, cos,Element.DISP_CONTENT);
or
request.addAttribute(AdminService.E_COS, cos,Element.DISP_ELEMENT);

In soap-admin.txt file I didnt found anything about this

What can I do?

Rather than rolling your own, have you tried using the methods in SoapProvisioning.java?

Ok, I could set cos using SoapProvisioning.
Where can I get the attributtes I can put in the map?

Beacuse this example throws com.zimbra.soap.SoapFaultException: createAccount invalid attr name:

SoapProvisioning sp = new SoapProvisioning();
		sp.soapSetURI("https://localhost:7071/"
				+ ZimbraServlet.ADMIN_SERVICE_URI);
		try {
			sp.soapAdminAuthenticate("test", "aaaaa");
			Map m=new HashMap();
			m.put("firstName", "firstname");
			m.put("lastName", "lastname");
			sp.createAccount("aa@aa.tsavo.com", "aaaa", m);

Look at the constants in Provisioning.java. You're dealing with standard LDAP attrs, so I believe first name is "cn" and last name is "sn"

Another good thing to do is to do the operation from the web admin client with the debug window open -- you'll see the SOAP in the debug window. I believe that you can also turn on a verbose protocol dump from zmprov.

Yes it works, thanks.
