public class BasicAttribute extends Object implements Attribute
This class provides a basic implementation of the Attribute interface.This implementation does not support the schema methods getAttributeDefinition() and getAttributeSyntaxDefinition(). They simply throw OperationNotSupportedException. Subclasses of BasicAttribute should override these methods if they support them.
The BasicAttribute class by default uses Object.equals() to determine equality of attribute values when testing for equality or when searching for values, except when the value is an array. For an array, each element of the array is checked using Object.equals(). Subclasses of BasicAttribute can make use of schema information when doing similar equality checks by overriding methods in which such use of schema is meaningful. Similarly, the BasicAttribute class by default returns the values passed to its constructor and/or manipulated using the add/remove methods. Subclasses of BasicAttribute can override get() and getAll() to get the values dynamically from the directory (or implement the Attribute interface directly instead of subclassing BasicAttribute).
Note that updates to BasicAttribute (such as adding or removing a value) does not affect the corresponding representation of the attribute in the directory. Updates to the directory can only be effected using operations in the DirContext interface.
A BasicAttribute instance is not synchronized against concurrent multithreaded access. Multiple threads trying to access and modify a BasicAttribute should lock the object.

Method Detail

clone
public Object clone()
Description copied from class:Object
Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general intent is that, for any objectx
, the expression:x.clone() != x
x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
true
, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is typically the case that:x.clone().equals(x)
true
, this is not an absolute requirement.By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling
super.clone
. If a class and all of its superclasses (exceptObject
) obey this convention, it will be the case thatx.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
.By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned by
super.clone
before returning it. Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields in the object returned bysuper.clone
need to be modified.The method
clone
for classObject
performs a specific cloning operation. First, if the class of this object does not implement the interfaceCloneable
, then aCloneNotSupportedException
is thrown. Note that all arrays are considered to implement the interfaceCloneable
and that the return type of theclone
method of an array typeT[]
isT[]
where T is any reference or primitive type. Otherwise, this method creates a new instance of the class of this object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the contents of the fields are not themselves cloned. Thus, this method performs a "shallow copy" of this object, not a "deep copy" operation.The class
Object
does not itself implement the interfaceCloneable
, so calling theclone
method on an object whose class isObject
will result in throwing an exception at run time.
-
equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Determines whether obj is equal to this attribute. Two attributes are equal if their attribute-ids, syntaxes and values are equal. If the attribute values are unordered, the order that the values were added are irrelevant. If the attribute values are ordered, then the order the values must match. If obj is null or not an Attribute, false is returned.By default Object.equals() is used when comparing the attribute id and its values except when a value is an array. For an array, each element of the array is checked using Object.equals(). A subclass may override this to make use of schema syntax information and matching rules, which define what it means for two attributes to be equal. How and whether a subclass makes use of the schema information is determined by the subclass. If a subclass overrides equals(), it should also override hashCode() such that two attributes that are equal have the same hash code.
- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
obj
- The possibly null object to check.- Returns:
- true if obj is equal to this attribute; false otherwise.
- See Also:
hashCode()
,contains(java.lang.Object)
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Calculates the hash code of this attribute.The hash code is computed by adding the hash code of the attribute's id and that of all of its values except for values that are arrays. For an array, the hash code of each element of the array is summed. If a subclass overrides hashCode(), it should override equals() as well so that two attributes that are equal have the same hash code.
- Overrides:
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- an int representing the hash code of this attribute.
- See Also:
equals(java.lang.Object)
-
toString
public String toString()
Generates the string representation of this attribute. The string consists of the attribute's id and its values. This string is meant for debugging and not meant to be interpreted programmatically.
-
getAll
public NamingEnumeration<?> getAll() throws NamingException

- Specified by:
getAll
in interfaceAttribute
- Returns:
- A non-null enumeration of the attribute's values. Each element of the enumeration is a possibly null Object. The object's class is the class of the attribute value. The element is null if the attribute's value is null. If the attribute has zero values, an empty enumeration is returned.
- Throws:
NamingException
- If a naming exception was encountered while retrieving the values.- See Also:
Attribute.isOrdered()
-
get
public Object get() throws NamingException
Retrieves one of this attribute's values.By default, the value returned is one of those passed to the constructor and/or manipulated using the add/replace/remove methods. A subclass may override this to retrieve the value dynamically from the directory.
- Specified by:
get
in interfaceAttribute
- Returns:
- A possibly null object representing one of the attribute's value. It is null if the attribute's value is null.
- Throws:
NamingException
- If a naming exception was encountered while retrieving the value.
-
size
public int size()
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Retrieves the number of values in this attribute.
-
getID
public String getID()
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Retrieves the id of this attribute.
-
contains
public boolean contains(Object attrVal)
Determines whether a value is in this attribute.By default, Object.equals() is used when comparing attrVal with this attribute's values except when attrVal is an array. For an array, each element of the array is checked using Object.equals(). A subclass may use schema information to determine equality.
- Specified by:
contains
in interfaceAttribute
- Parameters:
attrVal
- The possibly null value to check. If null, check whether the attribute has an attribute value whose value is null.- Returns:
- true if attrVal is one of this attribute's values; false otherwise.
- See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,equals(java.lang.Object)
-
add
public boolean add(Object attrVal)
Adds a new value to this attribute.By default, Object.equals() is used when comparing attrVal with this attribute's values except when attrVal is an array. For an array, each element of the array is checked using Object.equals(). A subclass may use schema information to determine equality.
-
remove
public boolean remove(Object attrval)
Removes a specified value from this attribute.By default, Object.equals() is used when comparing attrVal with this attribute's values except when attrVal is an array. For an array, each element of the array is checked using Object.equals(). A subclass may use schema information to determine equality.
-
clear
public void clear()
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Removes all values from this attribute.
-
isOrdered
public boolean isOrdered()
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Determines whether this attribute's values are ordered. If an attribute's values are ordered, duplicate values are allowed. If an attribute's values are unordered, they are presented in any order and there are no duplicate values.- Specified by:
isOrdered

get
public Object get(int ix) throws NamingException
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Retrieves the attribute value from the ordered list of attribute values. This method returns the value at the ix index of the list of attribute values. If the attribute values are unordered, this method returns the value that happens to be at that index.- Specified by:
get
in interfaceAttribute
- Parameters:
ix
- The index of the value in the ordered list of attribute values. 0 <= ix < size().- Returns:
- The possibly null attribute value at index ix; null if the attribute value is null.
- Throws:
NamingException
- If a naming exception was encountered while retrieving the value.
-
remove
public Object remove(int ix)
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Removes an attribute value from the ordered list of attribute values. This method removes the value at the ix index of the list of attribute values. If the attribute values are unordered, this method removes the value that happens to be at that index. Values located at indices greater than ix are shifted up towards the front of the list (and their indices decremented by one).
-
add
public void add(int ix, Object attrVal)
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Adds an attribute value to the ordered list of attribute values. This method adds attrVal to the list of attribute values at index ix. Values located at indices at or greater than ix are shifted down towards the end of the list (and their indices incremented by one). If the attribute values are unordered and already have attrVal, IllegalStateException is thrown.
-
set
public Object set(int ix, Object attrVal)
Description copied from interface:Attribute
Sets an attribute value in the ordered list of attribute values. This method sets the value at the ix index of the list of attribute values to be attrVal. The old value is removed. If the attribute values are unordered, this method sets the value that happens to be at that index to attrVal, unless attrVal is already one of the values. In that case, IllegalStateException is thrown.- Specified by:
set
in interfaceAttribute
- Parameters:
ix
- The index of the value in the ordered list of attribute values. 0 <= ix < size().attrVal
- The possibly null attribute value to use. If null, 'null' replaces the old value.- Returns:
- The possibly null attribute value at index ix that was replaced. Null if the attribute value was null.
-
getAttributeSyntaxDefinition

- The attribute's syntax definition. Null if the implementation supports schemas but this particular attribute does not have any schema information.
- Throws:
OperationNotSupportedException
- If getting the schema is not supported.NamingException
- If a naming exception occurs while getting the schema.
-
getAttributeDefinition
public DirContext getAttributeDefinition() throws NamingException
