Method Detail

getValues

public static Collection<String> getValues(String dn,
                                           String name)

Returns the RDN values for the attribute type with the supplied name.

Parameters:

dn - to parse

name - of the attribute type to return values for

Returns:

DN attribute values

getValue

public static String getValue(String dn,
                              String name)

Returns the RDN value for the attribute type with the supplied name. If the component has multiple values, the first one is returned.

Parameters:

dn - to parse

name - of the attribute to return value for

Returns:

DN attribute value

substring

public static String substring(String dn,
                               int beginIndex)

Returns a string representation of the supplied DN beginning at the supplied index. The leftmost RDN component begins at index 0.

Parameters:

dn - to parse

beginIndex - index of first RDN to include in the result in the range [0, N-1] where N is the number of elements in the DN

Returns:

DN from the supplied beginIndex

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if beginIndex is less than 0 or greater than the number of RDNs

substring

public static String substring(String dn,
                               int beginIndex,
                               int endIndex)

Returns a string representation of the supplied DN beginning at beginIndex (inclusive) and ending at endIndex (exclusive). The leftmost RDN component begins at index 0. Where n is the number of RDNs, both beginIndex and endIndex are on the range [0, N-1].

Parameters:

dn - to parse

beginIndex - index of first RDN to include in the result in the range [0, N-2] where N is the number of elements in the DN

endIndex - index of last RDN to include in the result in the range [1, N-1] where N is the number of elements in the RDN

Returns:

DN from beginIndex (inclusive) to endIndex (exclusive)

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if beginIndex is less than 0, if beginIndex is greater than endIndex, or endIndex is greater than the number of RDNs

convertDnToAttributes

public static List<LdapAttribute> convertDnToAttributes(String dn)

Parses the supplied DN and converts each RDN into a LdapAttribute.

Parameters:

dn - to parse

Returns:

list of ldap attributes for each RDN

decodeHexValue

protected static byte[] decodeHexValue(char[] value)

Decodes the supplied hexadecimal value.

Parameters:

value - hex to decode

Returns:

decoded bytes

decodeStringValue

protected static String decodeStringValue(String value)

Decodes the supplied string attribute value. Unescapes escaped characters. If escaped character is a hex value, it is decoded.

Parameters:

value - to decode

Returns:

decoded string

readToChar

private static int readToChar(String s,
                              char[] chars,
                              int pos)

Reads the supplied string starting at the supplied position until one of the supplied characters is found. Characters escaped with '\' are ignored.

Parameters:

s - to read

chars - to match

pos - to start reading at

Returns:

string index that matched a character or the last index in the string
