Hendy Irawan commented on DIRSHARED-142:
----------------------------------------

So the ordering is swapped between StringValue and BinaryValue's equals(). I 
think this should be consistent. And this operation should be 
immutable/idempotent, no modifying of any input parameters.

In StringValue, it checks the value first before checking the AT :

        // First check the upValue. If they are equal, the Values are equal
        if ( wrappedValue == other.wrappedValue )
        {
            return true;
        }
        else if ( wrappedValue != null )
        {
            if ( wrappedValue.equals( other.wrappedValue ) )
            {
                return true;
            }
        }

        // If we have an attributeType, it must be equal
        // We should also use the comparator if we have an AT
        if ( attributeType != null )
...

But in BinaryValue, it's the other way around, it checks the AT first (which 
fails), before checking the value :

        // If we have an attributeType, it must be equal
        // We should also use the comparator if we have an AT
        if ( attributeType != null )
        {
            if ( other.attributeType != null )
            {
                if ( !attributeType.equals( other.attributeType ) )
                {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                other.attributeType = attributeType;
            }
        }
        else if ( other.attributeType != null )
        {
            attributeType = other.attributeType;
        }

        // Shortcut : if the values are equals, no need to compare
        // the normalized values
        if ( Arrays.equals( wrappedValue, other.wrappedValue ) )
        {
            return true;
        }

>            Reporter: Hendy Irawan
>
> 1. get two Attribute objects from different sources, e.g. from LDAP 
> connection vs. by creating an entry programmatically
> 2. attribute1.get().equals( attribute2.get() ) will return false, which is 
> wrong, because :
> Arrays.equals((byte[])attribute1.get().getNormValue(), (byte[]) 
> attribute2.get().getNormValue())
> will return true in this case.
