I'm using the methods ObjectClassDefinition::getRequiredAttributes() and getOperationalAttributes(), to get the attributes of an objectClass. But these methods don't return the operational attributes of the objectClass. Could someone point me to how to get the operational attributes in the java sdk? I would really appreciate some pointers.

Operational attributes are generally not included in object classes
because they don't need to be.  In general, unless the server does
something to prevent it, any operational attribute may appear in any
entry regardless of that entry's object classes.

Note, however, that some operational attribute definitions may include
the NO-USER-MODIFICATION constraint, in which case clients won't be
permitted to alter their values.  Further, the server may impose access
control constraints or other types of limits to control which users may
interact with operational attributes.
