All Implemented Interfaces:

ConnectorInterface, VersionInfoInterface

Direct Known Subclasses:

IDSChangelogConnector, NetscapeChangelogConnector, ZOSChangelogConnector

public class ChangelogConnector
extends LDAPConnector

ChangelogConnector class combines the similar changelog behavior of IDSChangelogConnector, NetscapeChangelogConnector and z/OS Changelog Connector classes. It provides tree different ways to handle merging between original and updated data.

Field Detail

defaultMerge

protected boolean defaultMerge

A flag that tells whether the parseEntry(Entry) method should merge the parsed entry with the passed as parameter entry.
This flag is controlled by the the value of the PARAM_MERGE_MODE parameter and set during the initialization process ( initialize(Object)).

onlyChanges

protected boolean onlyChanges

A flag that tells whether the parseEntry(Entry) method should merge the operation of the parsed entry with the operation of the passed as parameter entry.
This flag is controlled by the the value of the PARAM_MERGE_MODE parameter and set during the initialization process ( initialize(Object)).

bothSeparated

protected boolean bothSeparated

A flag that tells whether the parseEntry(Entry) method should add the passed as parameter entry as an attribute of the parsed entry.
This flag is controlled by the the value of the PARAM_MERGE_MODE parameter and set during the initialization process ( initialize(Object)).

mLdifParser

protected LDIFParser mLdifParser

The LDIFParser object used for parsing the entries.

PARAM_MERGE_MODE

public static final String PARAM_MERGE_MODE

The parameter name used to control the way the parseEntry(Entry) method merges the parsed entry with the provided as a parameter entry.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(Object aObject)
                throws Exception

Initialize the Connector, connect to the LDAP Server

Specified by:

initialize in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

initialize in class LDAPConnector

Parameters:

aObject - An Object sent to the initialize method, ignored.

Throws:

Exception - Any Exception by the underlying methods to connect to the LDAP Server

parseEntry

protected Entry parseEntry(Entry aEntry)
                    throws Exception

Method for parsing and merging Changelog Entry attributes and changed attributes from the actual Directory Entry.

Parameters:

aEntry - the actual Directory Entry.

Returns:

the result of the parsing and merging operations entry.

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs.

querySchema

public Object querySchema(Object source)
                   throws Exception

Query the schema of the LDAP server. If 'Start at' parameter is EOD return schema depending on the Merge mode parameter:

Merge changelog and changed data - return all 'MAY' and 'MUST' attributes defined for 'changeLogEntry' LDAP object class

Return only changed data - we have no idea what are the changed attributes of the changed entry so return null

Return both - return the 'changelog' attribute

If 'Start at' parameter is set to a number the LDAP Connector querySchema is called.

Specified by:

querySchema in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

querySchema in class LDAPConnector

Parameters:

source - A distinguished name

Returns:

The schema
