Class DitStructureRule

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, SchemaObject
    public class DitStructureRule
extends AbstractSchemaObject
    A dITStructureRule definition. A dITStructureRules is a rule governing the structure of the DIT by specifying a permitted superior to subordinate entry relationship. A structure rule relates a nameForm, and therefore a STRUCTURAL objectClass, to superior dITStructureRules. This permits entries of the STRUCTURAL objectClass identified by the nameForm to exist in the DIT as subordinates to entries governed by the indicated superior dITStructureRules. Hence dITStructureRules only apply to structural object classes.

    According to ldapbis [MODELS]: 

      DIT structure rule descriptions are written according to the ABNF:
  
    DITStructureRuleDescription = LPAREN WSP
        ruleid                    ; rule identifier
        [ SP "NAME" SP qdescrs ]  ; short names (descriptors)
        [ SP "DESC" SP qdstring ] ; description
        [ SP "OBSOLETE" ]         ; not active
        SP "FORM" SP oid          ; NameForm
        [ SP "SUP" ruleids ]      ; superior rules
        extensions WSP RPAREN     ; extensions
 
    ruleids = ruleid / ( LPAREN WSP ruleidlist WSP RPAREN )
 
    ruleidlist = ruleid *( SP ruleid )
 
    ruleid = number
 
  where:
    [ruleid] is the rule identifier of this DIT structure rule;
    NAME [qdescrs] are short names (descriptors) identifying this DIT
        structure rule;
    DESC [qdstring] is a short descriptive string;
    OBSOLETE indicates this DIT structure rule use is not active;
    FORM is specifies the name form associated with this DIT structure
        rule;
    SUP identifies superior rules (by rule id); and
    [extensions] describe extensions.
  
  If no superior rules are identified, the DIT structure rule applies
  to an autonomous administrative point (e.g. the root vertex of the
  subtree controlled by the subschema) [X.501].

    • Constructor Detail

      • DitStructureRule

        public DitStructureRule​(int ruleId)
        Creates a new instance of DitStructureRule
        Parameters:
        ruleId - The RuleId for this DitStructureRule

    • Method Detail

      • getForm

        public String getForm()
        Returns:
        The associated NameForm's OID

      • setForm

        public void setForm​(String form)
        Sets the associated NameForm's OID
        Parameters:
        form - The NameForm's OID

      • getRuleId

        public int getRuleId()
        Returns:
        The Rule ID

      • setRuleId

        public void setRuleId​(int ruleId)
        Sets the rule identifier of this DIT structure rule;
        Parameters:
        ruleId - the rule identifier of this DIT structure rule;

      • setSuperRules

        public void setSuperRules​(List<Integer> superRules)
        Sets the list of superior RuleIds
        Parameters:
        superRules - the list of superior RuleIds

      • addSuperRule

        public void addSuperRule​(Integer superRule)
        Adds a new superior RuleId
        Parameters:
        superRule - The superior RuleID to add

      • getOid

        public String getOid()
        The DIT structure rule does not have an OID Gets usually what is the numeric object identifier assigned to this SchemaObject. All schema objects except for MatchingRuleUses have an OID assigned specifically to then. A MatchingRuleUse's OID really is the OID of it's MatchingRule and not specific to the MatchingRuleUse. This effects how MatchingRuleUse objects are maintained by the system.
        Specified by:
        getOid in interface SchemaObject
        Overrides:
        getOid in class AbstractSchemaObject
        Returns:
        an OID for this SchemaObject or its MatchingRule if this SchemaObject is a MatchingRuleUse object

      • copy

        public DitStructureRule copy()
        Copy the current SchemaObject on place
        Returns:
        The copied SchemaObject
