Add group with ES2 Java API

Can you put the code?

The link just goes to the main documentation page.

Following code snippet should work for you

public String createSampleGroup() throws UMException{
        String groupOid = checkGroupExist(groupName);
        
        if(groupOid != null){
            return groupOid;
        }
        String groupCanonicalName = groupName;

        GroupImpl group = new GroupImpl();
        group.setCanonicalName(groupCanonicalName);
        group.setDomainName(domainName);
        group.setGroupType(Group.GROUPTYPE_PRINCIPALS);
        group.setLocal(true);
        group.setPrincipalType(Principal.PRINCIPALTYPE_GROUP);
        
        groupOid = directoryManager.createLocalGroup(group);
        log("Sample group created with name %s",groupName);
        
        return groupOid;
    }
    
    /**
     * Search the groupwith the given name in the sample domain 
     */
    private String checkGroupExist(String groupName) throws UMException{
        PrincipalSearchFilter psf = new PrincipalSearchFilter();
        psf.setCommonName(groupName);
        psf.setSpecificDomainName(domainName);
        
        //By default the filter causes like search unless you are using the absolute version
        //Setting this ensures that search is exact
        psf.setMatchExactCriteria(true);
        
        //By default search returns obsolete users also. Set this to ensure that
        //only active users are returned
        psf.setRetrieveOnlyActive(); 
        
        //PrincipalReference are lightweight user objects and searching for them would be more performant
        //compared to the User search. If you do not require any other user attribute then prefer this
        //mode of search
        List<PrincipalReference> result = directoryManager.findPrincipalReferences(psf);
        if(result.isEmpty()){
            log("Sample group with name [%s] does not exist",groupName);
            return null;
        }else{
            String oid = result.get(0).getOid(); 
            log("Sample group with name [%s] already exist",groupName);
            return oid;
        }
    }

I would be following up with the doc team to get that corrected

The Quick Start in Programming with LiveCycle ES2 has been updated to use this application logic
