Cant get listener connected with l7policy through neutron api

[Dmitriy]

I'm in process of adding l7policy and l7rule resources support to Heat.
In according plugins sometimes I need to check loadbalancer status.
When I try to do such check from l7rule, I have only id of l7policy.
And I have no way to get loadbalancer id through api.
Neutron api do not returns neither the listener from show_lbaas_l7policy nor l7policies from list_listeners/show_listener.

That's because L7 is an extension.
L7-policy is a first-level citizen on lbaas API and there is no way to go up from L7-policy to its listener through API.

However, you can find the relationship between l7-policy and its listener in neutron database

Listener is required argument to create policy call, so policy knows about listener in every case. Why don't expose listener_id of the given policy to the user?

[Evgeny Fedoruk (evgenyf)]

You are right. It seems like a bug. Checking it

With this fix, policy-show will include listeners list with the id in it
