public class SG8ReverseNestAttribute

extends SG8NestAttribute

implements L3DGenerated

An attribute representing associated values from a dn lookup for use with SG8 objects. This attribute type implements L3DGenerated to derive pointers to all entries of a defined target object that have the containing object's distinguished name as a value in a specified distinguished name attribute. For HTML output, results are translated to a list that nests the values of an additional attribute for each matching entry. This attribute type can represent a tree with recursive descent if the second attribute is also a nest attribute.
