Class AttributeBuilder

org.identityconnectors.framework.common.objects.AttributeBuilder

public final class AttributeBuilder

extends java.lang.Object

Simplifies constructing instances of Attribute. A Connector developer does not need to implement the Attribute interface. The builder returns an instance of an implementation of Attribute that overrides the methods equals(), hashcode() and toString() to provide a uniform and robust class. This implementation is backed by an ArrayList that contains the values and preserves the order of those values (in case the order of values is significant to the target system or application).
