Class LDAPRDN

java.lang.Object

com.rli.slapd.server.LDAPRDN

public class LDAPRDN
extends java.lang.Object

Objects of this class represent the components of a distinguished name (DN). (In some situations, these components are referred to as relative distinguished names, or RDNs.) For example, the DN "uid=bjensen, ou=People, o=Airius.com" has three components: "uid=bjensen", "ou=People", and "o=Airius.com".

Each DN component consists of an attribute type and a value. For example, in "o=Airius.com", the attribute type is "o" and the value is "Airius.com".

You can use objects of this class to add components to an existing DN object.

Method Detail

getType

public java.lang.String getType()

Returns the attribute type of the DN component.

Returns:

rdn the attribute type of the DN component.

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Returns the value of the DN component.

Returns:

rdn the value of the DN component.

toEscapeRDNValue

public static java.lang.String toEscapeRDNValue(java.lang.String value)

deEscapeRDNValue

public static java.lang.String deEscapeRDNValue(java.lang.String rdn_value)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the string representation of the DN component.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation of the DN component.

toNormalizedString

public java.lang.String toNormalizedString()

Retrieves a normalized string representation of this RDN.

Returns:

A normalized string representation of this RDN.

isRDN

public static boolean isRDN(java.lang.String rdn)

Determines if the specified string is a distinguished name component.

Parameters:

dn - the string to check

Returns:

true if the string is a distinguished name component.

isRDN

public boolean isRDN()

equals

public boolean equals(LDAPRDN rdn)

Determines if the current DN component is equal to the specified DN component. Uses an internal table of ces (case exact string) attributes to determine how the attributes should be compared.

Parameters:

rdn - the DN component to compare against the current DN component.

Returns:

true if the two DN components are equal.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object
