Making Attribute Lowercase

[McKean, Brandon Scott - mckeanbs]

Ok, is something like this instead would be safer?


var value = cn.getNativeAttribute().getValues();
value = value[0];
value = value.getValue();
lcn.addValue(value.toLowerCase());

As far as I can tell I'm using methods that are safe to assume are there.

Technically that's unsafe because it's depending on the underlying object implementing (probably) List but the actual getValues() method returns Collection, which doesn't itself implement get().

That's why I said using getValues() has limitations whereas getNativeAttribute().getValues() is a List but has other complications to account for.
