Class SchemaUtil

java.lang.Object

com.novell.admin.ns.SchemaUtil

public class SchemaUtil
extends java.lang.Object

Class to translate NDAP class and attribute names to the current protocol.

This class allows the user to write generic code, using NDAP class and attribute names. The methods translate the name, if necessary, to the corresponding LDAP name.

The algorithm is: 1. Determine the namespace from the ObjectEntry parameter. If it's an NDS namespace, no further conversion is necessary.

2. Get the SchemaDefinition object from the ObjectEntry. If the class or attribute name is in the schema, just return it.

3. Try to look up the name in our local table. If there's an entry for it in our table, return the corresponding LDAP name.

4. Remove all colons and spaces from the name. In the majority of cases, this will produce the correct LDAP name.

5. If any characters were removed and the resulting 'cleansed' name is in the schema, add the entry to our local table and for fast lookup next time.

6. Return the cleansed name.

Note: [All Attribute Rights] and [Entry Rights] are returned unchanged (spaces are not removed). We do not translate [All Attribute Rights] to "any" since that only applies to NVDS and not eDirectory.

translateNDAPClass

public static java.lang.String translateNDAPClass(ObjectEntry oe,
                                                  java.lang.String ndapClass)

translateNDAPAttr

public static java.lang.String translateNDAPAttr(ObjectEntry oe,
                                                 java.lang.String ndapAttr)

putThisClassAndSubClassesIntoSet

public static void putThisClassAndSubClassesIntoSet(java.lang.String className,
                                                    java.util.LinkedHashSet classSet,
                                                    SchemaDefinition classSchemaDef)

Recursively called routine called from getSubClassSearchExpression() for forming the complete subClass search expression

Note that if the className is "Top" then subclasses are not expanded because everything inherits from "Top".

The passed in array list will have all classes/subclasses added to it upon exit.

FindUnescapedChar

public static int FindUnescapedChar(char target,
                                    java.lang.String str)

Finds the first unescaped occurence of the specified character. Characters which are escaped by '\' are ignored.

Parameters:

target - The character to search for.

str - The string to search

Returns:

The index at which the character was found, or -1 if not found.
