public class MockableLDAPConnection
extends java.lang.Object
implements FullLDAPInterface

This class provides an implementation of an FullLDAPInterface that provides a basic means of mocking an LDAPConnection (which itself is not easily mockable because it is final, as a commonly recognized best practice for APIs).

Constructor Detail

MockableLDAPConnection

public MockableLDAPConnection(@NotNull
                              LDAPConnection connection)

Creates a new mockable LDAP connection from the provided connection. All non-overridden methods will simply be delegated to the provided connection.

Parameters:

connection - The connection to which all non-overridden method calls will be delegated.

Method Detail

getWrappedConnection

@NotNull
public final LDAPConnection getWrappedConnection()

Retrieves the connection that has been wrapped by this mockable LDAP connection, and to which all non-overridden method calls will be delegated.

Returns:

The connection that has been wrapped by this mockable LDAP connection, and to which all non-overridden method calls will be delegated.

close

public void close()

Closes the associated interface and frees any resources associated with it. This method may be safely called multiple times, but the associated interface should not be used after it has been closed.

Specified by:

close in interface FullLDAPInterface

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

getRootDSE

@Nullable
public RootDSE getRootDSE()
                             throws LDAPException

Retrieves the directory server root DSE.

Specified by:

getRootDSE in interface LDAPInterface

Returns:

The directory server root DSE, or null if it is not available.

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem occurs while attempting to retrieve the server root DSE.

getSchema

@Nullable
public Schema getSchema()
                           throws LDAPException

Retrieves the directory server schema definitions, using the subschema subentry DN contained in the server's root DSE. For directory servers containing a single schema, this should be sufficient for all purposes. For servers with multiple schemas, it may be necessary to specify the DN of the target entry for which to obtain the associated schema.

Specified by:

getSchema in interface LDAPInterface

Returns:

The directory server schema definitions, or null if the schema information could not be retrieved (e.g, the client does not have permission to read the server schema).

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem occurs while attempting to retrieve the server schema.

getSchema

@Nullable
public Schema getSchema(@Nullable
                                  java.lang.String entryDN)
                           throws LDAPException

Retrieves the directory server schema definitions that govern the specified entry. The subschemaSubentry attribute will be retrieved from the target entry, and then the appropriate schema definitions will be loaded from the entry referenced by that attribute. This may be necessary to ensure correct behavior in servers that support multiple schemas.

Specified by:

getSchema in interface LDAPInterface

Parameters:

entryDN - The DN of the entry for which to retrieve the associated schema definitions. It may be null or an empty string if the subschemaSubentry attribute should be retrieved from the server's root DSE.

Returns:

The directory server schema definitions, or null if the schema information could not be retrieved (e.g, the client does not have permission to read the server schema).

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem occurs while attempting to retrieve the server schema.

getEntry

@Nullable
public SearchResultEntry getEntry(@NotNull

                             throws LDAPSearchException

Processes a search operation with the provided information.

Note that if the search does not complete successfully, an LDAPSearchException will be thrown In some cases, one or more search result entries or references may have been returned before the failure response is received. In this case, the LDAPSearchException methods like getEntryCount, getSearchEntries, getReferenceCount, and getSearchReferences may be used to obtain information about those entries and references (although if a search result listener was provided, then it will have been used to make any entries and references available, and they will not be available through the getSearchEntries and getSearchReferences methods).

Specified by:

search in interface LDAPInterface

Parameters:

searchResultListener - The search result listener that should be used to return results to the client. It may be null if the search results should be collected internally and returned in the SearchResult object.

baseDN - The base DN for the search request. It must not be null.

scope - The scope that specifies the range of entries that should be examined for the search.

derefPolicy - The dereference policy the server should use for any aliases encountered while processing the search.

sizeLimit - The maximum number of entries that the server should return for the search. A value of zero indicates that there should be no limit.

timeLimit - The maximum length of time in seconds that the server should spend processing this search request. A value of zero indicates that there should be no limit.

typesOnly - Indicates whether to return only attribute names in matching entries, or both attribute names and values.

filter - The filter to use to identify matching entries. It must not be null.

attributes - The set of attributes that should be returned in matching entries. It may be null or empty if the default attribute set (all user attributes) is to be requested.

Returns:

A search result object that provides information about the processing of the search, potentially including the set of matching entries and search references returned by the server.

Throws:

LDAPSearchException - If the search does not complete successfully, or if a problem is encountered while sending the request or reading the response. If one or more entries or references were returned before the failure was encountered, then the LDAPSearchException object may be examined to obtain information about those entries and/or references.
