Class LDIFBackend

All Implemented Interfaces:
ConfigurationChangeListener<LdifBackendCfg>, AlertGenerator, Backupable, HealthStatusProvider

This class provides a backend implementation that stores the underlying data in an LDIF file. When the backend is initialized, the contents of the backend are read into memory and all read operations are performed purely from memory. Write operations cause the underlying LDIF file to be re-written on disk.

    • openBackend

      public void openBackend() throws ConfigException, InitializationException
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Opens this backend based on the information provided when the backend was configured. It also should open any underlying storage and register all suffixes with the server.
      Specified by:
      openBackend in class LocalBackend<LdifBackendCfg>
      Throws:
      ConfigException - If an unrecoverable problem arises while opening the backend.
      InitializationException - If a problem occurs during opening that is not related to the server configuration.

    • isPublicBackend

      public boolean isPublicBackend()
      Description copied from class: Backend
      Indicates whether the base DNs of this backend should be considered public or private.

      This method also controls the visibility of the associated naming contexts. i.e. if any base DN of this backend is a naming context, then it will be public or private, based on the value returned by this method.

      Reminder: Public naming contexts are returned when querying the root DSE entry.

      Specified by:
      isPublicBackend in class Backend<LdifBackendCfg>
      Returns:
      true if this backend's baseDNs could be exposed as a public naming context, false if they must remain private naming contexts.
    • closeBackend

      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Performs any necessary work to finally close this backend, particularly closing any underlying databases or connections and deregistering any suffixes that it manages with the Directory Server.

      It will be called as final step of finalizeBackend(), so subclasses might override it.

      Specified by:
      closeBackend in class LocalBackend<LdifBackendCfg>
    • getBaseDNs

      public Set<Dn> getBaseDNs()

If a the specified attribute is indexed in the indicated manner but some particular values may still be treated as unindexed (e.g., if the number of entries with that attribute value exceeds some threshold), then this method should still return true for the specified attribute and index type.

      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Consumes all or a subset of entries contained in this backend under the provided base DN.

      Intent is to consume a restricted set of entries (for backend having more than a small number of entries) which would allow to differentiate two instances of the same backend containing different entries, without having to compare every entries contained in the backend.

      The sample always contains the entry corresponding to the provided base DN. All other entries being consumed and the order at which they're consumed is not defined but it is guaranteed that a backend implementation will consume the exact same set of entries in the exact same order while the backend contains the exact same set of entries.

      Overrides:
      sampleEntries in class LocalBackend<LdifBackendCfg>
      Parameters:
      consumer - the consumer of entry to process the data sample
      baseDn - the base DN of the domain
