Method Detail

fromString

public static AttributeValue fromString(String string)

Create an attribute value from a string. The collation rules of values depend on the content as per the rules in RFC 2608 §5.

Parameters:

string - the attribute value string (must not be null)

Returns:

the attribute value object

fromBytes

public static AttributeValue fromBytes(byte[] bytes)

Create an attribute value from a byte sequence.

Parameters:

bytes - the bytes to read (must not be null)

Returns:

the attribute value object

isBoolean

public boolean isBoolean()

Determine if this value is a boolean value.

Returns:

true if the value is a boolean, false otherwise

isNumeric

public boolean isNumeric()

Determine if this value is numeric.

Returns:

true if the value is numeric, false otherwise

isOpaque

public boolean isOpaque()

Determine if this value is opaque (binary).

Returns:

true if the value is opaque, false otherwise

isString

public boolean isString()

Determine if this value is a text string.

Returns:

true if the value is a string, false otherwise

asInt

public int asInt()
          throws IllegalArgumentException

Get the value as an integer, throwing an exception if it is not numeric.

Returns:

the integer value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the value is not numeric

compareTo

public int compareTo(AttributeValue other)

Compare this value to another.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<AttributeValue>

Parameters:

other - the other value

Returns:

-1, 0, or 1 if the value comes before, is the same as, or comes after the given value

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Determine if this attribute value is equal to another.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the other object

Returns:

true if the objects are equal, false otherwise

toString

public String toString()

Get a string representation of this attribute value.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the string (not null)
