java.lang.Object javax.naming.ldap.LdapName
This class represents a distinguished name as specified by RFC 2253. A distinguished name, or DN, is composed of an ordered list of components called relative distinguished names, or RDNs. Details of a DN's syntax are described in RFC 2253.
This class resolves a few ambiguities found in RFC 2253 as follows:
String names passed to LdapName
or returned by it
use the full Unicode character set. They may also contain
characters encoded into UTF-8 with each octet represented by a
three-character substring such as "\\B4".
They may not, however, contain characters encoded into UTF-8 with
each octet represented by a single character in the string: the
meaning would be ambiguous.
LdapName
will properly parse all valid names, but
does not attempt to detect all possible violations when parsing
invalid names. It is "generous" in accepting invalid names.
The "validity" of a name is determined ultimately when it
is supplied to an LDAP server, which may accept or
reject the name based on factors such as its schema information
and interoperability considerations.
When names are tested for equality, attribute types, both binary and string values, are case-insensitive. String values with different but equivalent usage of quoting, escaping, or UTF8-hex-encoding are considered equal. The order of components in multi-valued RDNs (such as "ou=Sales+cn=Bob") is not significant.
The components of a LDAP name, that is, RDNs, are numbered. The indexes of a LDAP name with n RDNs range from 0 to n-1. This range may be written as [0,n). The right most RDN is at index 0, and the left most RDN is at index n-1. For example, the distinguished name: "CN=Steve Kille, O=Isode Limited, C=GB" is numbered in the following sequence ranging from 0 to 2: {C=GB, O=Isode Limited, CN=Steve Kille}. An empty LDAP name is represented by an empty RDN list.
Concurrent multithreaded read-only access of an instance of LdapName need not be synchronized.
Unless otherwise noted, the behavior of passing a null argument to a constructor or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Two LDAP names are equal if each RDN in one is equal
to the corresponding RDN in the other. This implies
both have the same number of RDNs, and each RDN's
equals() test against the corresponding RDN in the other
name returns true. See Rdn.equals(Object obj)
for a definition of RDN equality.
obj
- The possibly null object to compare against.
hashCode()
public int compareTo(Object obj)
If obj is null or not an instance of LdapName, ClassCastException is thrown.
Ordering of LDAP names follows the lexicographical rules for
string comparison, with the extension that this applies to all
the RDNs in the LDAP name. All the RDNs are lined up in their
specified order and compared lexicographically.
See Rdn.compareTo(Object obj)
for RDN comparison rules.
If this LDAP name is lexicographically lesser than obj, a negative number is returned. If this LDAP name is lexicographically greater than obj, a positive number is returned.
