Interface HasControls

All Known Subinterfaces:
UnsolicitedNotification

public interface HasControls

This interface is for returning controls with objects returned in NamingEnumerations. For example, suppose a server sends back controls with the results of a search operation, the service provider would return a NamingEnumeration of objects that are both SearchResult and implement HasControls.

   NamingEnumeration enum = ectx.search((Name)name, filter, sctls);
   while (enum.hasMore()) {
	Object entry = enum.next();

	// Get search result 
	SearchResult res = (SearchResult)entry;
	// do something with it 

	// Get entry controls
  	if (entry instanceof HasControls) {
	    Control[] entryCtls = ((HasControls)entry).getControls();
	    // do something with controls
	}
   }
