Class SchemaUtil

java.lang.Object
  com.novell.admin.ns.SchemaUtil

public class SchemaUtil

extends java.lang.Object

Class to translate NDAP class and attribute names to the current protocol.

This class allows the user to write generic code, using NDAP class and attribute names. The methods translate the name, if necessary, to the corresponding LDAP name.

The algorithm is: 1. Determine the namespace from the ObjectEntry parameter. If it's an NDS namespace, no further conversion is necessary.

2. Get the SchemaDefinition object from the ObjectEntry. If the class or attribute name is in the schema, just return it.

3. Try to look up the name in our local table. If there's an entry for it in our table, return the corresponding LDAP name.

4. Remove all colons and spaces from the name. In the majority of cases, this will produce the correct LDAP name.

5. If any characters were removed and the resulting 'cleansed' name is in the schema, add the entry to our local table and for fast lookup next time.

6. Return the cleansed name.
