better way to update multiple values attribute

[haiko]

Hello,

I update a attribute with multiple values in the following manner:

Name dn = buildGroupDn(ldapUser, role);
logger.debug("addToGroup:dn is " + dn.toString());
DirContextOperations context = ldapTemplate.lookupContext(dn);
mapToGroupContext(ldapUser, role, context);
		
// add user
String[] members =  context.getStringAttributes(UserDaoLdapImpl.UNIQUE_MEMBER);
		members = (String[]) ArrayUtils.add(members, "uid=" + ldapUser.getUid() + ",ou=" + ldapUser.getCompany() + "dc=xx,dc=yy");
		
context.setAttributeValues(UserDaoLdapImpl.UNIQUE_MEMBER, members);
ldapTemplate.modifyAttributes(context);

I first take all the values of the attribute in a Collection and then add my change to the collection and then save this collection as the attribute change.

Is there not a more elegant solution for this. Something like addValueToAttribute(String attribute, String value)??

The method you are looking for is called addAttributeValue().
