Identity Manager introduced a new complex attribute type that enables the SmartRoles adapter to support complex attributes. The complex attribute type is used when an attribute value is more complicated than a single value or list of values. This new complex type is used with the following attributes:
sr_positions
sr_grantedRolesSphere
sr_organizations
The attribute value for a complex attribute is an instance of the new com.waveset.object.GenericAttribute class. The GenericAttribute instance wraps a GenericObject instance containing the real attribute value information. The GenericObject stores attributes and values in a hierarchy that can be set and retrieved using path expressions.
