Method Detail

expandUser

public static UserEntity expandUser(ApplicationService applicationService,
                                    Application application,
                                    UserEntity minimalUserEntity,
                                    boolean expandAttributes)
                             throws UserNotFoundException

Expands a UserEntity from its minimal form to the expanded version. Attributes are expanded if expandAttributes is true, otherwise, UserEntity is returned with no attributes expanded.

N.B. This is not the same as expanding a user entity, which expands a UserEntity from its minimal form, to having all the first name, last name, email, etc filled in. Expanding a UserEntity is automatically performed in UserEntityExpander.

Parameters:

applicationService - ApplicationService to find a user

application - name of the application requesting the user

minimalUserEntity - Minimal representation of a UserEntity. Must include at least a username and a link.

expandAttributes - set to true if the expanded UserEntity should expand attributes.

Returns:

UserEntity expanded UserEntity

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the minimal UserEntity does not include at least a username and a link.

UserNotFoundException - if a user with the specified username could not be found.
