  com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.xds.DTDVersion

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable

public class DTDVersion

extends Object

implements Comparable

An enumeration of values for the <nds> element's dtdversion attribute.

NOTE: This attribute has been reinterpreted to mean the version of Identity Manager a driver was designed for. As such, version numbers > 2.0 no longer affects how documents are parsed or validated.

Field Summary

static DTDVersion	CURRENT The latest dtdversion attribute value.
static DTDVersion	ILLEGAL Deprecated. no longer used; any value is legal
static DTDVersion	UNKNOWN A <nds> element has no dtdversion attribute or no dtdversion attribute value.
static DTDVersion	V1_0 A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "1.0".
static DTDVersion	V1_1 A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "1.1".
static DTDVersion	V2_0 A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "2.0".
static DTDVersion	V3_0 A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "3.0".

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Object someVersion) Compares this version to someVersion.
boolean	equals(Object someVersion) Compares this verison to someVersion.
boolean	equals(String someVersion) Compares this verison to someVersion.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of this version (e.g., "1.0", "1.1").

Field Detail

V1_0

public static final DTDVersion V1_0

A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "1.0". NOTE: this value DOES affect how documents are parsed and validated

V1_1

public static final DTDVersion V1_1

A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "1.1". NOTE: this value DOES affect how documents are parsed and validated

V2_0

public static final DTDVersion V2_0

A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "2.0". NOTE: this value DOES affect how documents are parsed and validated

V3_0

public static final DTDVersion V3_0

A <nds> element has a dtdversion attribute value of "3.0". NOTE: this value DOES NOT affect how documents are parsed and validated

CURRENT

public static final DTDVersion CURRENT

The latest dtdversion attribute value.

NOTE: use of this value is discouraged given the new interpretation of this attribute; it's preferable that a driver writer use one of the specific version numbers to deliberately indicate which version of IDM a driver was written for; using this value will cause the value to go up whenever this library is patched NOTE: this value DOES NOT affect how documents are parsed and validated

UNKNOWN

public static final DTDVersion UNKNOWN

A <nds> element has no dtdversion attribute or no dtdversion attribute value.

ILLEGAL

public static final DTDVersion ILLEGAL

Deprecated. no longer used; any value is legal

A <nds> element has an illegal dtdversion attribute value.
