640750 - LDAPSchemaElement.getOptionalValues() mangles values

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Directory :: LDAP Java SDK, defect)

Description

[nkinder]

The LDAPSchemaElement.getOptionalValues() is designed to print out all optional qualifiers that are set for a schema element in a string that can be used in a schema definition.  The problem is that spaces are not added between the qualifiers when there are more than one.  This causes the resulting values to be mangled.

For example, assume one sets the following matching rule qualifiers for an LDAPAttributeSchema object:

    EQUALITY foo
    ORDERING bar

When printing out the attribute definition using LDAPAttributeSchema.getValue(), the getOptionalValues() method is called and results in the following string for the matching rule portion of the definition:

    Equality fooOrdering bar

When more than multiple optional qualifiers are concatenated in getOptionalValues(), a space needs to be used between them.

Attachment: Patch

This small change fixes this problem by adding a space between optional qualifiers when more than one value is concatenated.
