All custom type services must implement a sub-interface of org.kuali.rice.kim.service.support.KimTypeService based on the type of custom type being created.

Your custom type service class should extend the appropriate subclass of org.kuali.rice.kim.service.support.impl.KimTypeServiceBase and only override the methods necessary to implement your custom behavior. Use the methods in these classes as the basis for your custom code.

public class MyTypeService extends KimTypeServiceBase
 implements KimTypeService {
    // Do something


}

This method retrieves the map of attribute definitions related to a type. The map is keyed on the sort code of the attribute definition.

Parameters:

This method retrieves the list of attribute names related to a type that uniquely defines the principal. For any given principal, there should be only one assignment (for example, a role assignment or type assignment) that contains the particular set of values for these attributes.

Parameters:

This method returns the name of the workflow document type that will be used for the role qualifiers when you route objects with this type. If no special document type is needed, this method must return null.

Parameters: None

This method returns the names of attributes that need to be passed to workflow for route processing.

Parameters:

This method performs validation on the attributes of an object. The default implementation ensures that the values fit within type and length constraints and, if there is a look-up table for the values, that the value exists and is active. If null is returned or the map is empty, no validation errors were detected.

Parameters:

This method performs validation on the attributes of an object. The default implementation does not do any checking but simply returns an empty map. If null is returned or the map is empty, no validation errors were detected.

Parameters:

This method performs validation on the unique attributes of an object. The default implementation ensures that the principal does not have another assignment that duplicates the new values. If null is returned or the map is empty, no validation errors were detected.

Parameters:

This method performs validation on the unique attributes of an object. The default implementation ensures that these values are not being changed. If null is returned or the map is empty, no validation errors were detected.

Parameters:

Your custom type service class should extend org.kuali.rice.kns.kim.group.GroupTypeServiceBase and only override the methods necessary to implement your custom behavior. Use the methods in this class as the basis for your custom code.

public class MyGroupTypeService extends KimGroupTypeServiceBase
 implements KimGroupTypeService {

    // Do something
}

There are no methods specific to group types.

Your custom permission type service class should extend org.kuali.rice.kns.kim.permission.PermissionTypeServiceBase and only override the methods necessary to implement your custom behavior. Use the methods in this class as the basis for your custom code.

public class MyPermissionionTypeService extends KimPermissionTypeServiceBase
 implements KimPermissionTypeService {
    // Do something
}

Your custom permission type service class should extend org.kuali.rice.kim.service.support.impl.KimResponsibilityTypeServiceBase and only override the methods necessary to implement your custom behavior. Use the methods in this class as the basis for your custom code.

public class MyResponsibilityTypeService extends KimResponsibilityTypeServiceBase
 implements KimResponsibilityTypeService {

    // Do something
}

Your custom type service class should extend one of the following classes (all in the package org.kuali.rice.kim.service.support.impl):

Only override the methods necessary to implement your custom behavior. Use the methods in these classes as the basis for your custom code.

public class MyRoleTypeService extends KimPrincipalDerivedRoleTypeServiceImpl
 implements KimRoleTypeService {
    // Do something
