Overview

Generates Groovy create operation code for the specified object class. This endpoint creates code that handles creating new objects in the target system, including attribute mapping, validation, and API request construction.

Path Parameters

session_id
string (UUID)
required
The unique identifier of the session
object_class
string
required
The name of the object class (e.g., “account”, “user”, “group”)

Query Parameters

usePreviousSessionData
boolean
default:"true"
Whether to use previous session data for generation. Set to false to force regeneration from scratch.

Request

No request body is required. The endpoint automatically loads:
  • Attributes from session data
  • Endpoints from session data
  • Relevant documentation chunks for the create operation

Response

jobId
string (UUID)
required
The unique identifier for the created code generation job

Example Response

{
  "jobId": "d4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-def0-234567890123"
}

Prerequisites

Before calling this endpoint, you must:
  1. Create a session using POST /api/v1/session
  2. Generate attributes using POST /api/v1/session/{session_id}/classes/{object_class}/attributes
  3. Generate endpoints using POST /api/v1/session/{session_id}/classes/{object_class}/endpoints
If attributes or endpoints are not found in the session, the endpoint returns a 404 error.

Status Codes

200
OK
Job created successfully
404
Not Found
Session not found, attributes not available, or endpoints not available

Example Request

curl -X POST "https://api.example.com/api/v1/session/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000/classes/account/create?usePreviousSessionData=true" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Checking Job Status

After creating the job, use the GET endpoint to check the generation status. This endpoint returns multi-document progress tracking:
curl "https://api.example.com/api/v1/session/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000/classes/account/create?jobId=d4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-def0-234567890123"

Status Response

{
  "jobId": "d4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-def0-234567890123",
  "status": "running",
  "createdAt": "2026-03-10T12:03:00Z",

  "progress": {
    "stage": "generating",
    "message": "Processing documentation chunks",
    "processedDocuments": 5,
    "totalDocuments": 8
  }
}

Completed Job Response

{
  "jobId": "d4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-def0-234567890123",
  "status": "finished",
  "createdAt": "2026-03-10T12:03:00Z",
  "startedAt": "2026-03-10T12:03:01Z",
  "updatedAt": "2026-03-10T12:04:15Z",
  "progress": {
    "stage": "finished",
    "message": "Create code generated successfully",
    "processedDocuments": 8,
    "totalDocuments": 8
  },
  "result": {
    "code": "// Generated create Groovy code\n..."
  }
}

Manually Override Create Code

You can manually override the generated create code using the PUT endpoint:
curl -X PUT "https://api.example.com/api/v1/session/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000/classes/account/create" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "code": "// Custom create Groovy code\n..."
  }'

Override Response

{
  "message": "Create code for account overridden successfully",
  "sessionId": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  "objectClass": "account"
}

Generated Code Structure

The generated create code typically includes:
  • Attribute extraction and validation
  • Request payload construction
  • API endpoint invocation (POST request)
  • Response parsing
  • UID extraction from created object
  • Error handling and validation
  • Required vs. optional attribute handling
Example generated create code:
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def createAccount(ObjectClass objectClass, Set<Attribute> attributes, OperationOptions options) {
    log.info("Creating account with attributes: {0}", attributes)
    
    // Extract attributes
    def attrs = AttributeUtil.toMap(attributes)
    def username = attrs.get(Name.NAME)
    def email = AttributeUtil.getStringValue(attrs.get("email"))
    def firstName = AttributeUtil.getStringValue(attrs.get("firstName"))
    def lastName = AttributeUtil.getStringValue(attrs.get("lastName"))
    def active = AttributeUtil.getBooleanValue(attrs.get("active"))
    
    // Validate required attributes
    if (!username) {
        throw new InvalidAttributeValueException("Username is required")
    }
    if (!email) {
        throw new InvalidAttributeValueException("Email is required")
    }
    
    // Build request payload
    def payload = [
        username: username,
        email: email,
        firstName: firstName,
        lastName: lastName,
        active: active != null ? active : true
    ]
    
    // Add optional attributes
    if (attrs.get("phoneNumber")) {
        payload.phoneNumber = AttributeUtil.getStringValue(attrs.get("phoneNumber"))
    }
    
    def json = new JsonBuilder(payload).toString()
    
    // Execute API call
    def response = connection.post("/api/users", json)
    
    // Parse response
    def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
    def result = jsonSlurper.parseText(response)
    
    // Return UID of created object
    if (!result.id) {
        throw new ConnectorException("Failed to create account: no ID returned")
    }
    
    log.info("Successfully created account with ID: {0}", result.id)
    return new Uid(result.id as String)
}

Multi-Document Processing

Create code generation processes multiple documentation chunks to ensure comprehensive coverage:
  • processedDocuments: Number of documentation chunks analyzed
  • totalDocuments: Total number of relevant chunks for this operation
  • Progress updates occur as each chunk is processed
