java.lang.Object

com.novell.application.console.snapin.ResultModifier

com.novell.admin.ns.AdvancedResultModifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class AdvancedResultModifier
extends ResultModifier

This class is used for complex attribute syntax searches. It allows an LDAP search filter string to be specified directly. This class is only effective on LDAP. The filter is ignored on NDAP, so all objects are returned. 'filterArguments' are never used in either case.

Description copied from class: ResultModifier

Helper method to build an LDAP search filter string from the complex filter. This method is overridden by the subclasses of ResultModifier, FilterResultModifier or AdvancedResultModifier. The method in this class returns an empty string since there is no complex filter in a plain ResultModifier. If the object is an instance of FilterResultModifier, it contains a complex filter. This complex filter is a combination of "(attr op value)" FilterItem objects in a FilterItemGroup object, in a FilterItemGroupPair object, in a Filter object. If the object is an instance of AdvancedResultModifier, the complex filter is just an arbitrary LDAP search filter string, but is ignored in eDirectory/NDAP.

Overrides:

getComplexFilterString in class ResultModifier

Parameters:

namespace - The namespace object. Used to determine eDirectory vs NVDS. If null, assumes eDirectory.

Returns:

The LDAP search filter string.
