--------------------------------------
Summary: Fix inconsistency in Attribute and Value
Key: DIRAPI-328
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-328
Project: Directory Client API
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Stefan Seelmann
Assignee: Stefan Seelmann
Fix For: 2.0.0.AM3
Inconsistent method names:
* Attribute: getString() and getBytes()
* Value: getValue() and getBytes()
* Proposal: Rename Value.getValue() to Value.getString()
Inconsistent and wrong documented error handling:
* Attribute: getString() and getBytes() check for isHumanReadable and throw
LdapInvalidAttributeValueException
* Value: getValue()/getString() tries to UTF-8 encode bytes if not human
readable, which doesn't work always, and javadoc says "returns null"
* Value: getBytes() doesn't check if is human readable
* Proposal: Make Value behave like Attribute, i.e. throw
LdapInvalidAttributeValueException
Opinions?
