All Implemented Interfaces:

EditableBinary, EditableString

public class AttributeValue

extends java.lang.Object

implements EditableBinary, EditableString

TableAttributeEditor utility class; encapsulates the idea of an editable (String) attribute value, as displayed in a table. It also checks to see if an attribute is Binary, and sets a 'binary' flag as a warning to cell editors to use special handling.

Field Summary

value

Constructor Summary

AttributeValue(java.lang.String ID, java.lang.Object v)
initialise with an object, take a backup, and set changed to false

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	backup()
boolean	changed()
java.lang.String	getID()
java.lang.String[]	getOptions() adds a list of suggested options to the Attribute Value...
java.lang.String	getStringValue() te: gets the value of the edited object.
byte[]	getValue() gets the value of the edited object.
boolean	hasOptions() Whether the Attribute Value has been given a set of suggested values.
boolean	isBinary()
boolean	isEmpty()
boolean	isNaming() Returns whether this value is a naming value.
void	reset() reset the value back to what it was initialised with.
void	setBinary(boolean bin) sets the binary-ness of the attribute (this may be known externally from schema).
void	setNamingStatus(boolean state) sets whether this value is a naming value (e.g. the 'Smith' in cn=Smith).
void	setOptions(java.lang.String[] ops) adds a list of suggested options to the Attribute Value...
void	setStringValue(java.lang.String b) synonym for update, used for EditableString interface...
void	setValue(byte[] b) synonym for update, used for EditableBinary interface...
boolean	testBinary() Checks whether the object is binary (actually, it checks if the object isn't a String...)

update object

setValue

public void setValue(byte[] b)

synonym for update, used for EditableBinary interface...

Specified by:

setValue in interface EditableBinary

Parameters:

b - an array of bytes that may be edited later.

setStringValue

public void setStringValue(java.lang.String b)

synonym for update, used for EditableString interface...

Specified by:

setBinary

public void setBinary(boolean bin)

sets the binary-ness of the attribute (this may be known externally from schema).

testBinary

public boolean testBinary()

Checks whether the object is binary (actually, it checks if the object isn't a String...)

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

toString
