Direct Known Subclasses:

AddEntry, DeleteEntry, ModifyEntry, RenameEntry

public abstract class ChangeEntry
extends GenericEntry

An abstract class which acts to group the four different types of change-entries found on an LDIF file: ModifyEntry, AddEntry, DeleteEntry and RenameEntry. Each of these represents an operation that can be performed on a directory.

Constructor Details

ChangeEntry

protected ChangeEntry()

Constructor used by the native library to create a blank object.

ChangeEntry

protected ChangeEntry(int type,
 DN dn)

Constructor used by sub-classes to create a blank object.

Parameters:

type - 'N' normal, 'A' add, 'M' modify, 'D' delete, 'R' rename (ModDN)

dn - Base DN, or null

Method Details

diff

public static ChangeEntry diff(Entry entry1,
 Entry entry2)

Calculate the difference between two possibly-null Entry references, giving as a result an AddEntry, ModifyEntry or DeleteEntry instance. If 'entry1' is null, an AddEntry results; if 'entry2' is null, a DeleteEntry results; otherwise a ModifyEntry results.

Note that any Attributes inside entry1 or entry2 which contain no values are treated as if they were not present at all.

Parameters:

entry1 - initial entry, or null for 'absent'

entry2 - target entry, or null for 'absent'

Returns:

Either an AddEntry, DeleteEntry or ModifyEntry

addAttribute

public void addAttribute(Attribute attr)
                  throws BadValueException,
NullPointerException,
NativeLibraryException

Add an 'add attribute-values' change to an AddEntry or ModifyEntry.

Parameters:

attr - Attribute containing values to be added.

Throws:

BadValueException - if attr contains no values.

NullPointerException - if attr is null.

NativeLibraryException - if an unrecoverable error was detected by the native library

replaceAttribute

public void replaceAttribute(Attribute attr)
                      throws NativeLibraryException

Add a 'replace attribute-values' change to a ModifyEntry.

Parameters:

attr - Attribute containing values to replace current values when change is applied.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if attr is null.

NativeLibraryException - if an unrecoverable error was detected by the native library

deleteAttribute

public void deleteAttribute(Attribute attr)
                     throws NativeLibraryException

Add a 'delete attribute-values' change to a ModifyEntry.

Parameters:

attr - Attribute containing values to delete when change is applied, or containing no values to delete all.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if attr is null.

NativeLibraryException - if an unrecoverable error was detected by the native library

append

public void append(Attribute attr)
            throws NativeLibraryException,
BadValueException

Appends an existing change-attribute to the ChangeEntry. The attribute must be an instance of AddAttribute, ReplaceAttribute or DeleteAttribute -- for example, as returned from the ChangeEntry iterator. This is intended to allow a ChangeEntry to be built up from selected changes from another ChangeEntry.

Parameters:

attr - AddAttribute, ReplaceAttribute or DeleteAttribute

Throws:

BadValueException - if attr is an AddAttribute which contains no values.

NullPointerException - if attr is null.

NativeLibraryException - if an unrecoverable error was detected by the native library

Since:

R15.0

jni_diff

protected void jni_diff(int type,
 Entry entry1,
 Entry entry2)

Calculate differences and save in the current ModifyEntry or AddEntry. 'entry1' or 'entry2' may be null to compare to/from an empty Entry. 'type' is 'M' to generate a modify-entry, or 'A' to generate an add-entry.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representation of this entry.

Overrides:

toString in class GenericEntry

Returns:

a String representation of the entry.
