Constructor Detail

DirectoryObjectEntity

public DirectoryObjectEntity(ObjectProfile profile,
                             DirectoryObject dirObject)

Creates a DirectoryObjectEntity representing an entity in directory server.

Parameters:

profile - profile describing a type of an entity object.

dirObject - directory object contains data of an entity

DirectoryObjectEntity

public DirectoryObjectEntity(DirectoryObject dirObject)

Creates a DirectoryObjectEntity representing an entity in directory server.

Parameters:

dirObject - directory object contains data of an entity

Method Detail

getDistinguishedName

Returns the distinguished name of the object.

Returns:

DistinguishedName of the object.

getDirectoryObject

public DirectoryObject getDirectoryObject()

Returns the DirectoryObject value object that holds the attributes of this object.

Returns:

DirectoryObject holding the attributes of the object.

getProfile

                         throws ModelCommunicationException,
                                ObjectNotFoundException

Returns the profile of the object. This profile defines the semantic mappings that may need to be applied.

Returns:

ObjectProfile object.

Throws:

ModelCommunicationException - Thrown if unable to communicate with the data store.
