[jira] Commented: (DIRAPI-21) Adding a value into an EntryAttribute does not leverage the schemaManager

["Kiran Ayyagari (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-21?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12901348#action_12901348 ] 

Kiran Ayyagari commented on DIRAPI-21:
--------------------------------------

IMO it is better to let the user make use of schema manager rather than changing api to make the entries/attributes schema aware.
cause..

1. Users can directly get access to schema manager from LdapConnection
2. It is always slow to convert a given entry to a schema aware entry (this requires creating a new entry by copying all attributes)
3. Entry interface doesn't provide any method to check if the entry already is schema aware so there is no way to avoid step 2 even if the
    user creates a schema aware entry

The only place where LdapConnection uses schema manager internally is while returning search results.

> We don't normalize nor check that the added value is valid in the EntryAttribute. As soon as we have a reference to the SchemaManager, every added value should be checkd and normalized.
> The contains( XXX ) method does not leverage the schemaManager either.
