Interface ReadOnlySearchRequest

All Superinterfaces:
ReadOnlyLDAPRequest, Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
SearchRequest
@NotExtensible @ThreadSafety(level=INTERFACE_NOT_THREADSAFE) public interface ReadOnlySearchRequest extends ReadOnlyLDAPRequest
This interface defines a set of methods that may be safely called in an LDAP search request without altering its contents. This interface must not be implemented by any class other than SearchRequest.

This interface does not inherently provide the assurance of thread safety for the methods that it exposes, because it is still possible for a thread referencing the object which implements this interface to alter the request using methods not included in this interface. However, if it can be guaranteed that no thread will alter the underlying object, then the methods exposed by this interface can be safely invoked concurrently by any number of threads.

      @NotNull String getBaseDN()
      Retrieves the base DN for this search request.

      @NotNull DN getParsedBaseDN() throws LDAPException
      Retrieves the base DN for this search request, parsed as a DN object.
      Returns:

      Throws:
      LDAPException - If the base DN string cannot be parsed as a valid DN.

    • getScope

      @NotNull SearchScope getScope()
      Retrieves the scope for this search request.
      Returns:
      The scope for this search request.

    • getDereferencePolicy

      @NotNull DereferencePolicy getDereferencePolicy()
      Retrieves the dereference policy that should be used by the server for any aliases encountered during search processing.
      Returns:
      The dereference policy that should be used by the server for any aliases encountered during search processing.

    • getSizeLimit

      int getSizeLimit()
      Retrieves the maximum number of entries that should be returned by the server when processing this search request.
      Returns:

      int getTimeLimitSeconds()
      Retrieves the maximum length of time in seconds that the server should spend processing this search request.
      Returns:
      The maximum length of time in seconds that the server should spend processing this search request, or zero if there is no limit.

    • typesOnly

      boolean typesOnly()
      Indicates whether the server should return only attribute names in matching entries, rather than both names and values.
      Returns:

      @NotNull Filter getFilter()
      Retrieves the filter that should be used to identify matching entries.
      Returns:

    • duplicate

      @NotNull SearchRequest duplicate()

      Specified by:
      duplicate in interface ReadOnlyLDAPRequest
      Returns:
      A new instance of this LDAP request that may be modified without impacting this request.

    • duplicate

      @NotNull SearchRequest duplicate(@Nullable Control[] controls)
      Creates a new instance of this LDAP request that may be modified without impacting this request. The provided controls will be used for the new request instead of duplicating the controls from this request.
