java.util.Set<java.lang.String>	getValues(java.lang.String key) Get all the values associated with a given key.
boolean	isEmpty()

Method Detail

getValues

java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getValues(java.lang.String key)

Get all the values associated with a given key. Duplicate values are not allowed, and this should be enforced case-insensitively to match the behaviour of LDAP servers. Will return null if the key does not exist.

Parameters:

key - the key to retrieve the values for

Returns:

the values associated with the given key, or null if the key does not exist.

getValue

java.lang.String getValue(java.lang.String key)

Returns any value associated with the given key, returns null if there is no value.

Parameters:

key - the key to retrieve the value for

Returns:

any value associated with the given key, or null if there is no value

getKeys

java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getKeys()

Gets all the keys of the attributes. Warning: case-insensitive keys are currently no enforced, however this is the case for LDAP, so this may be implemented in the future.

Returns:

a set of all the keys.

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns:

true if there are no attributes
