[Springframework-developer] spring ldap - extending DirContextAdapter

[Petr B. <pe...@it...>]

Hi,
I would like to post spring-ldap team my extension of DirContextAdapter.=
  =

When item in the ldap is not set, method context.getStringAttribute thro=
w  =

exception NullPointerException. In practise application is it obstructio=
n.

When getStringAttribute throw exception, method get default value. You c=
an  =

get other the string values such as double,boolean, long, int.

This is source code of extension.

package net.itsynapse2.utils.data;

import org.springframework.ldap.support.DirContextAdapter;

public class DirContextAdapterImpl extends DirContextAdapter {
     public String getStringAttribute(String attrName, String defaultVal=
ue)  =

{
         String result =3D defaultValue;

         try {
             result =3D getStringAttribute(attrName);
         } catch(java.lang.NullPointerException npe) {}

         return result;
     }
     public boolean getBooleanAttribute(String attrName, boolean  =

defaultValue) {
         boolean result =3D defaultValue;

         try {
             result =3D Boolean.parseBoolean(getStringAttribute(attrName=
));
         } catch(java.lang.NullPointerException npe) {}

         return result;
     }
     public long getIntegerAttribute(String attrName, int defaultValue) =
{
         int result =3D defaultValue;

         try {
             result =3D Integer.parseInt(getStringAttribute(attrName));
         } catch(java.lang.NullPointerException npe) {}

         return result;

     }
     public long getLongAttribute(String attrName, long defaultValue) {
         long result =3D defaultValue;

         try {
             result =3D Long.parseLong(getStringAttribute(attrName));
         } catch(java.lang.NullPointerException npe) {}

         return result;

     }
     public double getDoubleAttribute(String attrName, double defaultVal=
ue)  =

{
         double result =3D defaultValue;

         try {
             result =3D Double.parseDouble(getStringAttribute(attrName))=
;
         } catch(java.lang.NullPointerException npe) {}

         return result;
     }

}
