  +--com.sun.identity.sm.ChoiceValues

public abstract class ChoiceValues

extends java.lang.Object

The abstract class ChoiceValues provides a mechanism for services to provide choice values for attributes dynamically instead of being statically defined in the service XML file stored in the directory.

An implementation of this class must be specified in the service configuration XML file in the definition of the respective attribute schema. Instead of providing the choice values in the XML configuration file, the class name must be specified within the XML node ChoiceValuesClassName.

Constructor Summary

ChoiceValues()

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getAttributeName() Returns the name of the attribute for which the choice values will be returned.
org.w3c.dom.Node	getAttributeSchemaNode() Returns the XML AttributeSchema node associated with this attribute
abstract java.util.Map	getChoiceValues() Abstract method that must be implemented by a class extending this class, and should return the choice values and their corresponding I18N key, for the attribute.
java.util.Map	getChoiceValues(java.util.Map envParams) Returns the choice values for attribute for the given environment parameters.
java.util.Map	getConfiguredKeyValues() Returns the configured key-value pairs for the class in the service's configuration file

Method Detail

getChoiceValues

public abstract java.util.Map getChoiceValues()

Abstract method that must be implemented by a class extending this class, and should return the choice values and their corresponding I18N key, for the attribute.

Returns:

choice values for the attribute as a java.util.Map. Key being the choice and the value being the I18N key

getChoiceValues

public java.util.Map getChoiceValues(java.util.Map envParams)

Returns the choice values for attribute for the given environment parameters. The default implementation calls the interface getChoiceValues without the parameter. A class extending this class can override this method to return the choice values and their corresponding I18N key, for the attribute.

Parameters:

envParams - environment parameters

Returns:

choice values for the attribute as a java.util.Map. Key being the choice and the value being the I18N key

getAttributeName

public final java.lang.String getAttributeName()

Returns the name of the attribute for which the choice values will be returned.

Returns:

the name of attribute for which the choice values are returned

getConfiguredKeyValues

public final java.util.Map getConfiguredKeyValues()

Returns the configured key-value pairs for the class in the service's configuration file

Returns:

key-value pairs configured for this class in the service schema XML file

getAttributeSchemaNode

public final org.w3c.dom.Node getAttributeSchemaNode()

Returns the XML AttributeSchema node associated with this attribute

Returns:

XML node of AttributeSchema
