public final class NullBackend extends LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>
This class implements /dev/null like backend for development and testing. The following behaviors of this backend implementation should be noted:
  • All read operations return success but no data.
  • All write operations return success but do nothing.
  • Bind operations fail with invalid credentials.
  • Compare operations are only possible on objectclass and return true for the following objectClasses only: top, nullbackendobject, extensibleobject. Otherwise comparison result is false or comparison fails altogether.
  • Controls are supported although this implementation does not provide any specific emulation for controls. Generally known request controls are accepted and default response controls returned where applicable.
  • Searches within this backend are always considered indexed.
  • Backend Import is supported by iterating over ldif reader on a single thread and issuing add operations which essentially do nothing at all.
  • Backend Export is supported but does nothing producing an empty ldif.
  • Backend Backup and Restore are not supported.
This backend implementation is for development and testing only, does not represent a complete and stable API, should be considered private and subject to change without notice.

  • Constructor Details

    • NullBackend

      public NullBackend()
      Creates a new backend with the provided information. All backend implementations must implement a default constructor that use super() to invoke this constructor.

  • Method Details

    • configureBackend

      public void configureBackend(NullBackendCfg config, ServerContext serverContext)
      Description copied from class: Backend
      Configure this backend based on the information in the provided configuration. When the method returns, the backend will have been configured (ready to be opened) but still unable to process operations.
      Specified by:
      configureBackend in class Backend<NullBackendCfg>
      Parameters:
      config - The configuration of this backend.
      serverContext - The server context for this instance

    • getServerContext

      protected ServerContext getServerContext()
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Returns the server context used by this backend.
      Overrides:
      getServerContext in class LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>
      Returns:
      the server context used by this backend

    • openBackend

      public void openBackend() throws InitializationException
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Opens this backend based on the information provided when the backend was configured. It also should open any underlying storage and register all suffixes with the server.
      Specified by:
      openBackend in class LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>
      Throws:
      InitializationException - If a problem occurs during opening that is not related to the server configuration.

    • isPublicBackend

      public boolean isPublicBackend()
      Description copied from class: Backend
      Indicates whether the base DNs of this backend should be considered public or private.

      This method also controls the visibility of the associated naming contexts. i.e. if any base DN of this backend is a naming context, then it will be public or private, based on the value returned by this method.

      Reminder: Public naming contexts are returned when querying the root DSE entry.

      Specified by:
      isPublicBackend in class Backend<NullBackendCfg>
      Returns:
      true if this backend's baseDNs could be exposed as a public naming context, false if they must remain private naming contexts.

    • closeBackend

      protected void closeBackend()
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Performs any necessary work to finally close this backend, particularly closing any underlying databases or connections and deregistering any suffixes that it manages with the Directory Server.

      It will be called as final step of finalizeBackend(), so subclasses might override it.

      Specified by:
      closeBackend in class LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>

    • getBaseDNs

      public Set<Dn> getBaseDNs()
      Description copied from class: Backend

      Specified by:
      getBaseDNs in class Backend<NullBackendCfg>
      Returns:
      The set of base-level DNs that may be used within this backend.

    • getEntryCount

      public long getEntryCount()
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Retrieves the total number of entries contained in this backend, if that information is available.
      Specified by:
      getEntryCount in class LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>
      Returns:
      The total number of entries contained in this backend, or -1 if that information is not available.

    • isIndexed

      public boolean isIndexed(AttributeType attributeType, IndexType indexType)
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Indicates whether search operations which target the specified attribute in the indicated manner would be considered indexed in this backend. The operation should be considered indexed only if the specified operation can be completed efficiently within the backend.

      Note that this method should return a general result that covers all values of the specified attribute. If a the specified attribute is indexed in the indicated manner but some particular values may still be treated as unindexed (e.g., if the number of entries with that attribute value exceeds some threshold), then this method should still return true for the specified attribute and index type.
      Specified by:
      isIndexed in class LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>
      Parameters:
      attributeType - The attribute type for which to make the determination.
      indexType - The index type for which to make the determination.
      Returns:
      true if search operations targeting the specified attribute in the indicated manner should be considered indexed, or false if not.

    • isIndexed

      public boolean isIndexed(AttributeType attributeType, MatchingRule matchingRule)
      Description copied from class: LocalBackend
      Indicates whether extensible match search operations that target the specified attribute with the given matching rule should be considered indexed in this backend.
      Specified by:
      isIndexed in class LocalBackend<NullBackendCfg>
      Parameters:
      attributeType - The attribute type for which to make the determination.
      matchingRule - The matching rule for which to make the determination.
