Constructor Detail

Normalizer

protected Normalizer(String oid)

The Normalizer base constructor. We use it's MR OID to initialize the SchemaObject instance

Parameters:

oid - The associated OID. It's the element's MR OID

Normalizer

protected Normalizer()

Use this default constructor when the Normalizer must be instantiated before setting the OID.

Method Detail

normalize

public abstract Value<?> normalize(Value<?> value)
                            throws LdapException

Gets the normalized value.

Parameters:

value - the value to normalize. It must *not* be null !

Returns:

the normalized form for a value

Throws:

LdapException - if an error results during normalization

normalize

public abstract String normalize(String value)
                          throws LdapException

Gets the normalized value.

Parameters:

value - the value to normalize. It must *not* be null !

Returns:

the normalized form for a value

Throws:

LdapException - if an error results during normalization

setSchemaManager

public void setSchemaManager(SchemaManager schemaManager)

Store the SchemaManager in this instance. It may be necessary for some normalizer which needs to have access to the oidNormalizer Map.

Parameters:

schemaManager - the schemaManager to store

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Specified by:

equals in interface SchemaObject

Overrides:

equals in class LoadableSchemaObject
