    • getValue

      public ByteString getValue()
      Description copied from interface: Control
      Returns the value, if any, associated with this control. Its format is defined by the specification of this control.
      Specified by:
      getValue in interface Control
      Returns:
      The value associated with this control, or null if there is no value.

    • hasValue

      public boolean hasValue()
      Description copied from interface: Control
      Returns true if this control has a value. In some circumstances it may be useful to determine if a control has a value, without actually calculating the value and incurring any performance costs.
      Specified by:
      hasValue in interface Control
      Returns:
      true if this control has a value, or false if there is no value.

    • isCritical

      public boolean isCritical()
      Description copied from interface: Control
      Returns true if it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of this control.

      The criticality field only has meaning in controls attached to request messages (except UnbindRequest). For controls attached to response messages and the UnbindRequest, the criticality field SHOULD be false, and MUST be ignored by the receiving protocol peer. A value of true indicates that it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of the control.

      Specified by:
      isCritical in interface Control
      Returns:
      true if this control must be processed by the Directory Server, or false if it can be ignored.
