hasAttributeValue

public boolean hasAttributeValue(java.lang.String value)

Indicates whether this RDN name-value pair has the provided attribute value (or a value that is logically equivalent to it).

Parameters:

value - The value for which to make the determination.

Returns:

true if this RDN name-value pair has the provided attribute value (or a value that is logically equivalent to it), or false if not.

Returns:

true if this RDN name-value pair has the provided attribute value (or a value that is logically equivalent to it), or false if not.

compareTo

public int compareTo(RDNNameValuePair p)

Retrieves an integer value that represents the order in which this RDN name-value pair should be placed in relation to the provided RDN name-value pair in a sorted list.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<RDNNameValuePair>

Parameters:

p - The RDN name-value pair to be ordered relative to this RDN name-value pair. It must not be null.

Returns:

A negative integer if this RDN name-value pair should be ordered before the provided RDN name-value pair, a positive integer if this RDN name-value pair should be ordered after the provided RDN name-value pair, or zero if this RDN name-value pair is logically equivalent to the provided RDN name-value pair.
