Hello,

You could try to encapsulate the call to getContainedAuthorities in a function that accept a PagingRequest parameter and return a PagingResults value.

You must handle yourself the creation of the object PagingResults in the new function.

Hi Roberto,

Thank you for your reply and your suggestion. Unfortunately, I do not think that it will work in my case due to performance issues. Some of the groups in my Alfresco system have a large number of users (~1500), so the call to getContainedAuthorities will be the bottleneck, i.e. this call will probably be the time consuming part of the processing. But I will investigate your idea further - otherwise I will have to make some more low-level calls to Alfresco - maybe make a call to the DB directly instead of using the AuthorityService. I can also see that there is an AuthoityDAO interface which may be of use.

Best regards

Andreas
