Interface LDIFWriterEntryTranslator
public interface LDIFWriterEntryTranslator
This interface is used by the LDIFWriter to translate or exclude entries
before they are written.
translateEntryToWrite
Entry translateEntryToWrite(Entry original)
- Applies some special transformation or filtering to the original Entry.
- Parameters:
original
- The original Entry that was to be written.
- Returns:
- The Entry that should be written. This can be the original
parameter Entry, a newly-constructed Entry, or
null
to
signal that this Entry should not be written. Note, however, that
if the original entry provided as a parameter is altered, then
the change will be visible to anything that references that entry.
If you are not sure about whether changes to the original entry
are acceptable, it is recommended that you use the
duplicate()
method to create a copy of the original and
make the necessary changes to that duplicate.
