Class ProtocolInformationEqualityMatchingRule

java.lang.Object

          org.opends.server.schema.ProtocolInformationEqualityMatchingRule

public class ProtocolInformationEqualityMatchingRule
extends EqualityMatchingRule

This class implements the protocolInformationMatch matching rule defined in X.520 and referenced in RFC 2252. However, since this matching rule and the associated syntax have been deprecated, this matching rule behaves exactly like the caseIgnoreMatch rule.

Constructor Summary

ProtocolInformationEqualityMatchingRule()
Creates a new instance of this protocolInformationMatch matching rule.

Method Summary

boolean	areEqual(ByteString value1, ByteString value2) Indicates whether the two provided normalized values are equal to each other.
java.lang.String	getDescription() Retrieves the description for this matching rule.
java.lang.String	getName() Retrieves the common name for this matching rule.
java.lang.String	getOID() Retrieves the OID for this matching rule.
java.lang.String	getSyntaxOID() Retrieves the OID of the syntax with which this matching rule is associated.
void	initializeMatchingRule(EqualityMatchingRuleCfg configuration) Initializes this matching rule based on the information in the provided configuration entry.
ByteString	normalizeValue(ByteString value) Retrieves the normalized form of the provided value, which is best suited for efficiently performing matching operations on that value.

Constructor Detail

ProtocolInformationEqualityMatchingRule

public ProtocolInformationEqualityMatchingRule()

Creates a new instance of this protocolInformationMatch matching rule.

Method Detail

initializeMatchingRule

public void initializeMatchingRule(EqualityMatchingRuleCfg configuration)
                            throws ConfigException,
                                   InitializationException

Initializes this matching rule based on the information in the provided configuration entry.

Specified by:

initializeMatchingRule in class MatchingRule<EqualityMatchingRuleCfg>

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration to use to intialize this matching rule.

Throws:

ConfigException - If an unrecoverable problem arises in the process of performing the initialization.

InitializationException - If a problem that is not configuration-related occurs during initialization.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Retrieves the common name for this matching rule.

Specified by:

getName in class MatchingRule<EqualityMatchingRuleCfg>

Returns:

The common name for this matching rule, or null if it does not have a name.

getOID

public java.lang.String getOID()

Retrieves the OID for this matching rule.

Specified by:

getOID in class MatchingRule<EqualityMatchingRuleCfg>

Returns:

The OID for this matching rule.

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Retrieves the description for this matching rule.

Specified by:

getDescription in class MatchingRule<EqualityMatchingRuleCfg>

Returns:

The description for this matching rule, or null if there is none.

getSyntaxOID

public java.lang.String getSyntaxOID()

Retrieves the OID of the syntax with which this matching rule is associated.

Specified by:

getSyntaxOID in class MatchingRule<EqualityMatchingRuleCfg>

Returns:

The OID of the syntax with which this matching rule is associated.

normalizeValue

public ByteString normalizeValue(ByteString value)
                          throws DirectoryException

Retrieves the normalized form of the provided value, which is best suited for efficiently performing matching operations on that value.

Specified by:

normalizeValue in class MatchingRule<EqualityMatchingRuleCfg>

Parameters:

value - The value to be normalized.

Returns:

The normalized version of the provided value.

Throws:

DirectoryException - If the provided value is invalid according to the associated attribute syntax.

areEqual

public boolean areEqual(ByteString value1,
                        ByteString value2)

Indicates whether the two provided normalized values are equal to each other.

Specified by:

areEqual in class EqualityMatchingRule

Parameters:

value1 - The normalized form of the first value to compare.

value2 - The normalized form of the second value to compare.

Returns:

true if the provided values are equal, or false if not.
