Class AttrConst<T,M>

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.idaas.common.data.AttrConst<T,M>

public class AttrConst<T,M>

extends java.lang.Object

This class is used as input argument to store or retrieve an attribute value via LiteAttrMap.get(AttrConst) and LiteAttrMap.put(AttrConst,T) method.

By leveraging Java Generic facility, a strong-type contract is provided at Java compilation time through an AttrConst and the two methods at LiteAttrMap.

AttrConst is an immutable object.

Attr Const contains the name of the attribute, its attribute type. The attribute type exists as: EITHER a Java type OR and a metadata object.

T is Java type for this attribute (e.g. java.lang.String, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Iterable and etc)

Alternative to passing in a Java Type <>T>, a metadata object (based on Java Generic <M>) can be used to construct an AttrConst object. The metadata object <M> can further describes the nature of this attribute value (e.g. what is inside java.lang.Iterable).

metadata object <M> comes from metadata facilities defined under oracle.security.idaas.common.data.metadata package.

Examples:

  AttrConst<String,BasicMetaData> UID_CONST = new AttrConst<String,BasicMetaData>("uid",String.class);
  
  AttrConst<Long,BasicMetaData> LAST_LOGIN_CONST = new AttrConst<Long,BasicMetaData>("lastLogin",Long.class);
  
  AttrConst<Iterable,BasicMetaData> FRIEND_LIST_CONST = 
       new AttrConst<Iterable,BasicMetaData> (  
         "friendList",       
         Iterable.class);
