Class LDIFChangeRecord

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.unboundid.ldif.LDIFChangeRecord
All Implemented Interfaces:
LDIFRecord, java.io.Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
LDIFAddChangeRecord, LDIFDeleteChangeRecord, LDIFModifyChangeRecord, LDIFModifyDNChangeRecord

public abstract class LDIFChangeRecord
extends java.lang.Object
implements LDIFRecord

This class provides a base class for LDIF change records, which can be used to represent add, delete, modify, and modify DN operations in LDIF form.

Example

The following example iterates through all of the change records contained in an LDIF file and attempts to apply those changes to a directory server:
 LDIFReader ldifReader = new LDIFReader(pathToLDIFFile);

 int changesRead = 0;
 int changesProcessed = 0;
 int errorsEncountered = 0;
 while (true)
 {
   LDIFChangeRecord changeRecord;
   try
   {
     changeRecord = ldifReader.readChangeRecord();
     if (changeRecord == null)
     {
       // All changes have been processed.
       break;
     }

     changesRead++;
   }
   catch (LDIFException le)
   {
     errorsEncountered++;
     if (le.mayContinueReading())
     {
       // A recoverable error occurred while attempting to read a change
       // record, at or near line number le.getLineNumber()
       // The change record will be skipped, but we'll try to keep reading
       // from the LDIF file.
       continue;
     }
     else
     {
       // An unrecoverable error occurred while attempting to read a change
       // record, at or near line number le.getLineNumber()
       // No further LDIF processing will be performed.
       break;
     }
   }
   catch (IOException ioe)
   {
     // An I/O error occurred while attempting to read from the LDIF file.
     // No further LDIF processing will be performed.
     errorsEncountered++;
     break;
   }

   // Try to process the change in a directory server.
   LDAPResult operationResult;
   try
   {
     operationResult = changeRecord.processChange(connection);
     // If we got here, then the change should have been processed
     // successfully.
     changesProcessed++;
   }
   catch (LDAPException le)
   {
     // If we got here, then the change attempt failed.
     operationResult = le.toLDAPResult();
     errorsEncountered++;
   }
 }

 ldifReader.close();
