Support for REST API dependsOn search parameter.

[southalladam]

Hello there!

We are using your jasper REST client to manage our Jasper environments. One task I've had recently was to do a bulk update of data sources, switching from one type to another.

In the end I had to go through all items that could depend on a data sources AbstractClientDataSourceHolder and interrogate if they depended on the data sources I wanted to replace.

The API itself includes a dependOn search parameter which would have returned a list of items that I needed to work with. The following was sent to me by TIBCO support:

Identifying resources dependent on a Data Source: in addition to the article Support suggested in case 01562271, you can use dependsOn parameter together with other parameters, which are part of the REST API (https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-rest-api-reference/v64/resources-service#Searching_the_Repository). Here's an example for my local instance: http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources?type=semanticLayerDataSource&dependsOn=/public/Samples/Data_Sources/FoodmartDataSourceJNDI

I can confirm that using the REST API directly gives me the list of resources I need.

As far as I can tell, adding "dependsOn" to the ResourceSearchParameter would add support for this useful feature. Is this something you could consider adding?

Hello,

This parameter was already added in the develop branch of the project, but we cannot release it until next version of JRS will be released.
