Interface AttributeBinding

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicAttributeBinding

public interface AttributeBinding

Maps an LDAP attribute to RDF statements with a common subject and predicate. LDAP allows multiple values for an attribute, so for an entries attribute there will be as many RDF statements as there are are values, all with the same subject and predicate.

• The subject of the RDF statement will represent a single LDAP entry. See EntrySet for details.
• The predicate of the RDF statement is the specified predicateUri property.
• The object of the RDF statement is the value of the LDAP attribute. See below for details.

The object may be either a plain literal (default) or a typed literal if the literalDatatype property is set. The object may also be a URI if the isValueUri property is set. In this case, the attribute value will be passed to LdapRdfMapping.dnToUri to be converted to a URI.
