Class LdifChangeRecordReader

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable, ChangeRecordReader

    public final class LdifChangeRecordReader
    extends Object
    implements ChangeRecordReader
    An LDIF change record reader reads change records using the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) from a user defined source.

    The following example reads changes from LDIF, and writes the changes to the directory server.

     InputStream ldif = ...;
     LdifChangeRecordReader reader = new LdifChangeRecordReader(ldif);
    
     Connection connection = ...;
     connection.bind(...);
    
     ConnectionChangeRecordWriter writer =
             new ConnectionChangeRecordWriter(connection);
     while (reader.hasNext()) {
         ChangeRecord changeRecord = reader.readChangeRecord();
         writer.writeChangeRecord(changeRecord);
     }

      • hasNext

        public boolean hasNext()
                        throws IOException
        Returns true if this reader contains another change record, blocking if necessary until either the next change record is available or the end of the stream is reached.
        Specified by:
        hasNext in interface ChangeRecordReader
        Returns:
        true if this reader contains another change record.
        Throws:
        DecodeException - If the change record could not be decoded because it was malformed.
        IOException - If an unexpected IO error occurred.
      • readChangeRecord

        public ChangeRecord readChangeRecord()
                                      throws IOException
        Reads the next change record, blocking if necessary until a change record is available. If the next change record does not contain a change type then it will be treated as an Add change record.
        Specified by:
        readChangeRecord in interface ChangeRecordReader
        Returns:
        The next change record.
        Throws:
        DecodeException - If the entry could not be decoded because it was malformed.
        IOException - If an unexpected IO error occurred while reading the change record.
      • setExcludeAllOperationalAttributes

        public LdifChangeRecordReader setExcludeAllOperationalAttributes​(boolean excludeOperationalAttributes)
        Specifies whether all operational attributes should be excluded from any change records that are read from LDIF. The default is false.
        Parameters:
        excludeOperationalAttributes - true if all operational attributes should be excluded, or false otherwise.
        Returns:
        A reference to this LdifChangeRecordReader.
      • setExcludeAllUserAttributes

        public LdifChangeRecordReader setExcludeAllUserAttributes​(boolean excludeUserAttributes)
        Specifies whether all user attributes should be excluded from any change records that are read from LDIF. The default is false.
        Parameters:
        excludeUserAttributes - true if all user attributes should be excluded, or false otherwise.
        Returns:
        A reference to this LdifChangeRecordReader.
      • setExcludeAttribute

        public LdifChangeRecordReader setExcludeAttribute​(AttributeDescription attributeDescription)

        public LdifChangeRecordReader setRejectedLdifListener​(RejectedLdifListener listener)

        Parameters:
        listener - The rejected record listener.
        Returns:
        A reference to this LdifChangeRecordReader.
      • setSchema

        public LdifChangeRecordReader setSchema​(Schema schema)
        Sets the schema which should be used for decoding change records that are read from LDIF. The default schema is used if no other is specified.

      • setSchemaValidationPolicy

        public LdifChangeRecordReader setSchemaValidationPolicy​(SchemaValidationPolicy policy)
        Specifies the schema validation which should be used when reading LDIF change records. If attribute value validation is enabled then all checks will be performed.

        Schema validation is disabled by default.

        NOTE: this method copies the provided policy so changes made to it after this method has been called will have no effect.

        Parameters:
        policy - The schema validation which should be used when reading LDIF change records.
        Returns:
        A reference to this LdifChangeRecordReader.
