Bindings

Some configuration's XML attribute must respect the Identity Manager's binding syntax. This syntax allow to specify a path in the entity model.

Binding expression starts by the starting entity type name followed by the : character and a sequence of property references separated by a . character.

type:propertyA.propertyB.propertyC

For exemple, to bind to the manager's first name of a user, the binding expression will be:

User:Manager.FirstName

In the case of type inheritance, we must specify the type owning the property.

AssignedResourceType:Owner.User:FirstName

In this sample, the property Owner of AssignedResourceType targets the base type Resource. Type User inherits of Resource and owns the FirstName property. So, the FirstName section of the binding expression must be prefixed by User:.
