DELETE
Delete the values listed in the modification from the attribute.

INCREMENT
Increment all existing values of the attribute by the amount specified in the modification value.

REPLACE
Replace all existing values of the attribute with the new values listed in the modification, creating the attribute if it did not already exist.

Enum Constant Detail

ADD

public static final ModificationType ADD

Add the values listed in the modification to the attribute, creating the attribute if necessary.

DELETE

public static final ModificationType DELETE

Delete the values listed in the modification from the attribute. If no values are listed, or if all current values of the attribute are listed, the entire attribute is removed.

REPLACE

public static final ModificationType REPLACE

Replace all existing values of the attribute with the new values listed in the modification, creating the attribute if it did not already exist. A replace with no listed values will delete the entire attribute if it exists, and it is ignored if the attribute does not exist.

INCREMENT

public static final ModificationType INCREMENT

Increment all existing values of the attribute by the amount specified in the modification value.

Method Detail

values

public static ModificationType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ModificationType c : ModificationType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ModificationType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

intValue

public int intValue()

Returns the integer value of this modification change type as defined in RFC 4511 section 4.6.

Returns:

The integer value of this modification change type.

getLDIFName

public java.lang.String getLDIFName()

Retrieves the name of this modification type as it should appear in LDIF records.

Returns:

The name of this modification type as it should appear in LDIF records.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the string representation of this modification change type.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Enum<ModificationType>

Returns:

The string representation of this modification change type.
