Method Details

getTypeName

QName getTypeName()

Should be provided elsewhere. Here it's just used.

getTypeClass

default Class<T> getTypeClass()

getMatchingRuleQName

QName getMatchingRuleQName()

Returns matching rule name. Matching rules are algorithms that specify how to compare, normalize and/or order the values. E.g. there are matching rules for case insensitive string comparison, for LDAP DNs, etc. TODO describe the semantics where special normalizations are to be used Use with care until this description is complete.

Returns:

matching rule name

getMatchingRule

@NotNull
default @NotNull MatchingRule<T> getMatchingRule()

Returns the resolved MatchingRule for this property.

getNormalizer

@NotNull
default @NotNull Normalizer<T> getNormalizer()

Returns the normalizer that is to be applied when the normalized form of this property is to be computed. For polystring-typed properties (that are assumed to be already normalized) it returns "no-op" normalizer.

getStringNormalizerForPolyStringProperty

@NotNull
default @NotNull Normalizer<String> getStringNormalizerForPolyStringProperty()

Returns the normalizer that is to be applied for PolyString properties. Throws an exception if not applicable.

isCustomPolyString

default boolean isCustomPolyString()

TODO
