Attribute(s)Impl usage and API
------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-833
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-833
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
Priority: Critical
We should modify the Attribute(s)Impl API and usage. Those classes should never
be used outside of the server, and we should use BasicAttribute(s) instance
instead.
When we receive a BasicAttribute(s) instance, we should convert them to an
Attribute(s)Impl before working on attributes.
A second point is that operations like contains(), get() or equals() must use
the matchingRules instead of doing straight comparizons of case sensitive
strings.
Last, not least, we should not use the attribute name to do operations on
attributes, but their OID. Operations like
"objectClass".equals( trim( attributeType.getName() ).toLowerCase )
should not be used. It's much better to define a static final OBJECT_CLASS_OID
somewhere and do a
OBJECT_CLASS_OID.equals( attributeType.getOid() )
