getEquality(), getSubstr() and getOrdering() methods of the AttributeTypeImpl
class does not return any MatchingRule from a superior attribute type
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-962
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-962
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ldap
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
I think I have found a bug in the AttributeTypeImpl class (package:
org.apache.directory.server.core.schema, project:shared-ldap).
The getEquality(), getSubstr() and getOrdering() methods use
findEquality(AttributeType at ), findSubstr(AttributeType at ) and
findOrdering(AttributeType at ) methods to get the corresponding MatchingRule
from the superior AttributeType, when there's no matching rule declared in the
current AttributeType.
These methods recursively search for the matchingRule if one exists within the
attribute hierarchy with the following code.
-----
private MatchingRule findEquality( AttributeType at ) throws NamingException
{
if ( at == null )
{
return null;
}
if ( at.getEquality() == null )
{
return findEquality( at.getSuperior() );
}
return null;
}
-----
But I'm afraid that code will never return any matching rule.
