public interface AttributeMapper

Maps a single attribute for an entity from an LDAP DirContextAdapter to a set of string values. This is used for non-core attributes, such as membership for specific directory types and for custom attributes.

Mandatory or field-level attributes are mapped via the LDAPUserAttributesMapper and the LDAPGroupAttributesMapper.

Method Summary

String	getKey() Get the key to use when storing the attribute on an entity with Attributes.
Set<String>	getRequiredLdapAttributes() Returns the LDAP attributes that should be requested in a search where getValues(DirContextAdapter) will be called on the results.
Set<String>	getValues(org.springframework.ldap.core.DirContextAdapter ctx) Map the value of the key from the directory context.
