Filter extensions/actions based on java service

[narcis]

Hi,

I need to filter an extension based on a response from the java service: show the extension if the java service returns true. If not, hide the extension.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Yes, you can do the extension filtering that is described in the Programming Guide, using a custom property like myVmProperty below whose value will be returned by your own PropertyProviderAdapter.

 
     <metadata>
         <objectType>VirtualMachine</objectType>
         <propertyConditions>
            <com.vmware.data.query.CompositeConstraint>
               <nestedConstraints>
                   <com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>
                     <propertyName>myVmProperty</propertyName>
                     <comparator>EQUALS</comparator>
                     <comparableValue>
                        <Boolean>true</Boolean>
                     </comparableValue>
                   </com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>
               </nestedConstraints>
            </com.vmware.data.query.CompositeConstraint>
         </propertyConditions>
      </metadata>
