advantage of DirContextAdapter over AttributeMapper

[adeveloper]

Hi all,

The only advantage of DirContextAdapter over AttributeMapper that I can see is modified items can be automatically obtained by using context.getModificationItems().

Are there any other advantages?

You mention the most significant difference, but another important difference is a much less verbose way of retrieving attribute values. See this post for a comparison.
