Root DataObject

The virtual member manager data graph consists of a single root data object called Root.

Root is a pseudo data object and does not have any meaning other than as a container.

The structure of an entity data object consists of a dynamic schema and three properties:
contexts
contain 0 to n Context data objects. Context DataObject specifies the contextual information for the API call. Examples of such information include realm and HTTPServletRequest.
entities
contain 0 to n Entity data objects. Each Entity DataObject represents a virtual member manager entity, like PersonAccount and Group. It contains the actual data associated with the entity (like uniqueName, uid and cn attributes).
controls
contain 0 to n Control data objects. Control DataObject is used for specifying the request information and response information for the API call. For example, the property names to be returned in a get operation can be specified in PropertyContol.

XML schema definition

The following is the XML schema definition for the Root data object:
<xsd:complexType name="RootType">
<xsd:sequence>
		<xsd:element  maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="contexts" type="Context"/>
		<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="entities" type="Entity"/>
		<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="controls" type="Control"/>
		<xsd:element ref="dynamicSchema" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
		<xsd:element name="propertyDataTypes" type="xsd:token" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
	</xsd:sequence>
	<xsd:attribute name="validated" type="xsd:boolean" default="false"/>
</xsd:complexType>

Sample data object

The following sample data object shows a Root data object containing a PersonAccount data object and a PropertyControl data object:
<wim:Root>
    <wim:entities xsi:type="wim:PersonAccount">
      <wim:identifier uniqueName="uid=persona,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com"/>
    </wim:entities>
    <wim:controls xsi:type="wim:PropertyControl">
      <wim:properties>uid</wim:properties>
      <wim:properties>cn</wim:properties>
      <wim:properties>sn</wim:properties>
    </wim:controls>
</wim:Root>
