initParser in interface ParserInterface

Overrides:

initParser in class ParserImpl

readEntry

public Entry readEntry()
                throws IOException

Returns:

entry

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

writeEntry

public void writeEntry(Entry entry)
                throws IOException

Writes entry in LDIF format to the current output writer. Depending on whether ldifVersion parameter is checked the ldif version number is also written .

Parameters:

entry - the entry to be written.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

getVersion

public String getVersion()

Version information.

Returns:

version information

Parameters:

argv - String array

isDeltaSupported

public boolean isDeltaSupported()

Returns true if this connector is able to perform delta updates

Specified by:

isDeltaSupported in interface ParserInterface

Overrides:
