Interface LDAPEntryComparator

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    LDAPCompareAttrNames

    public interface LDAPEntryComparator
    The LDAPEntryComparator interface represents the algorithm used to sort the search results. This interface specifies one method, isGreater, which compares two entries and determines the order in which the two entries should be sorted.

    The netscape.ldap package includes a class that implements this interface. The LDAPCompareAttrNames class represents a comparator that sorts the two entries alphabetically, based on the value of one or more attributes.

    When calling the sort method of the LDAPSearchResults class, you need to specify a class that implements the LDAPEntryComparator interface.
