Method Detail

add

public void add(int index,
                Object val)

Specified by:

add in interface Attribute

add

public boolean add(Object val)

Specified by:

add in interface Attribute

clear

public void clear()

Specified by:

clear in interface Attribute

clone

public Object clone()

Description copied from class: Object

clone creates a shallow clone of this.

Specified by:

clone in interface Attribute

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

a clone of this object.

contains

public boolean contains(Object val)

Specified by:

contains in interface Attribute

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from class: Object

equals compares this object to another object.

Equals must be symmetric (a.equals(b) == b.equals(a)), reflexive (a.equals(a)==true) and transitive (a.equals(b) && b.equals(c) IMPLIES (a.equals(c))) and not change over time (a.equals(b) == a.equals(b)). a.equals(null) should always return false.

If a.equals(b) is true for two objects a and b, then a.hashCode()==b.hashCode() must hold.

The default implementation of equals returns this==other.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the other object.

Returns:

if this and other are considered equal.

get

public Object get()
           throws NamingException

Specified by:

get in interface Attribute

Throws:

NamingException

get

public Object get(int index)
           throws NamingException

Specified by:

getAll

public NamingEnumeration getAll()
                         throws NamingException

Specified by:

getAll in interface Attribute

Throws:

public DirContext getAttributeDefinition()
                                  throws OperationNotSupportedException,
                                         NamingException

Specified by:

getAttributeDefinition in interface Attribute

Throws:

OperationNotSupportedException

NamingException

getAttributeSyntaxDefinition

public DirContext getAttributeSyntaxDefinition()
                                        throws OperationNotSupportedException,
                                               NamingException

Specified by:

getAttributeSyntaxDefinition in interface Attribute

Throws:

OperationNotSupportedException

NamingException

getID

public String getID()

Specified by:

getID in interface Attribute

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

hashCode returns a hash code for this object. The hash code must be equal for two objects a and b if a.equals(b) is true.

The default implementation returns System.identityHashCode(this).

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value.

isOrdered

public boolean isOrdered()

Specified by:

isOrdered in interface Attribute

remove

public Object remove(int index)

Specified by:

remove in interface Attribute

remove

public boolean remove(Object val)

Specified by:

remove in interface Attribute

set

public Object set(int index,
                  Object val)

Specified by:

set in interface Attribute

size

public int size()

Specified by:

size in interface Attribute

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

toString creates a printable string that represents this object for debugging purposes.

The default implementation returns getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode()).

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string identifying this object.
