expandGroup

public static GroupEntity expandGroup(ApplicationService applicationService,
                                      Application application,
                                      GroupEntity minimalGroupEntity,
                                      boolean expandAttributes)
                               throws GroupNotFoundException

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

N.B. This is not the same as expanding a group entity, which expands a GroupEntity from its minimal form, to having all the description, type, etc filled in. Expanding a GroupEntity is automatically performed in GroupEntityExpander.

Parameters:

applicationService - ApplicationService to find a group

application - name of the application requesting the group

minimalGroupEntity - Minimal representation of a GroupEntity. Must include at least a group name and a link.

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

Returns:

GroupEntity expanded GroupEntity

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the minimal GroupEntity does not include at least a group name and a link.

GroupNotFoundException
