Class DefaultValues

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.identity.sm.DefaultValues

public abstract class DefaultValues

extends java.lang.Object

The abstract class DefaultValues provides a mechanism for services to obtain their default values 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 default values in the XML configuration file, the class name must be specified within the XML node DefaultValuesClassName.

Method Detail

getDefaultValues

public abstract java.util.Set getDefaultValues()

Abstract method that must be implemented by a class extending this interface, and should return the default values for the attribute.

Returns:

defaults values for the attribute as a java.util.Set

getDefaultValues

public java.util.Set getDefaultValues(java.util.Map envParams)

Returns a Set of default values for the attribute, given the environment parameters. The default implementation calls the interface getDefaultValues() which takes no parameters. The class extending this class can override this method to take advantage of the additional environment parameters.

Returns:

defaults values for the attribute as a java.util.Set

getAttributeName

public final java.lang.String getAttributeName()

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

Returns:

the name of attribute for which the default 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
