public AbstractRequestControlDirContextProcessor()

Method Detail

isReplaceSameControlEnabled

public boolean isReplaceSameControlEnabled()

If there already exists a request control of the same class as the one created by createRequestControl() in the context, the new control can either replace the existing one (default behavior) or be added.

Returns:

true if an already existing control will be replaced

setReplaceSameControlEnabled

public void setReplaceSameControlEnabled(boolean replaceSameControlEnabled)

If there already exists a request control of the same class as the one created by createRequestControl() in the context, the new control can either replace the existing one (default behavior) or be added.

Parameters:

replaceSameControlEnabled - true if an already existing control should be replaced

preProcess

public void preProcess(javax.naming.directory.DirContext ctx)
                throws javax.naming.NamingException

Get the existing RequestControls from the LdapContext, call createRequestControl() to get a new instance, build a new array of Controls and set it on the LdapContext.

The Control feature is specific for LDAP v3 and thus applies only to LdapContext. However, the generic DirContextProcessor mechanism used for calling preProcess and postProcess uses DirContext, since it also works for LDAP v2. This is the reason that DirContext has to be cast to a LdapContext.

Specified by:

preProcess in interface DirContextProcessor

Parameters:

ctx - an LdapContext instance.

Throws:

javax.naming.NamingException

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the supplied DirContext is not an LdapContext.

createRequestControl

public abstract javax.naming.ldap.Control createRequestControl()

Create an instance of the appropriate RequestControl.

Returns:

the new instance.
