32 * Modify request protocol message used to alter the attributes and values of an
33 * existing entry. Here's what <a href="">RFC 2255</a> says about it:
34 *
35 * <pre>
36 * 4.6. Modify Operation
37 *
38 * The Modify Operation allows a client to request that a modification
39 * of an entry be performed on its behalf by a server. The Modify
40 * Request is defined as follows:
41 *
42 * ModifyRequest ::= [APPLICATION 6] SEQUENCE {
43 * object LDAPDN,
44 * modification SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {
45 *
46 * operation ENUMERATED {
47 * add (0),
48 * delete (1),
49 * replace (2) },
50 * modification AttributeTypeAndValues } }
51 *
52 * AttributeTypeAndValues ::= SEQUENCE {
53 * type AttributeDescription,
54 * vals SET OF AttributeValue }
55 *
56 * Parameters of the Modify Request are:
57 *
58 * - object: The object to be modified. The value of this field contains
59 * the Dn of the entry to be modified. The server will not perform
60 * any alias dereferencing in determining the object to be modified.
61 *
62 * - modification: A list of modifications to be performed on the entry.
63 * The entire list of entry modifications MUST be performed
64 * in the order they are listed, as a single atomic operation. While
65 * individual modifications may violate the directory schema, the
66 * resulting entry after the entire list of modifications is performed
67 * MUST conform to the requirements of the directory schema. The
68 * values that may be taken on by the 'operation' field in each
69 * modification construct have the following semantics respectively:
70 *
71 *
72 * add: add values listed to the given attribute, creating
73 * the attribute if necessary;
74 *
75 * delete: delete values listed from the given attribute,
76 * removing the entire attribute if no values are listed, or
77 * if all current values of the attribute are listed for
78 * deletion;
79 *
80 * replace: replace all existing values of the given attribute
81 * with the new values listed, creating the attribute if it
82 * did not already exist. A replace with no value will delete
83 * the entire attribute if it exists, and is ignored if the
84 * attribute does not exist.
85 * </pre>
86 *
87 * Notice that we tried to leverage as much as we already can from the JNDI.
88 * Both the Names and ModificationItems are used here to make the API as easy
89 * as possible to understand. We do not attempt here to write a JNDI provider
90 * which losses the explicit request type usage that we are looking for. Also
91 * note that this library is both for the client side as well as the server side
92 * unlike the JNDI which is strictly for the client side. From the JNDI we
93 * borrow good ideas and familiar signatures, interfaces and classes where we
94 * can.
