The modifyUserData method

Description

Corrects user information. If the specified user does not exist, an exception occurs.

With this method, existing attributes are overwritten with only the modified attributes that are specified after creation of the UserData object.

Suppose, for example, the existing user information in the repository includes the attributes shown below.

Attribute name	Full name	Tel
Value	Hitachi Taro	111-1111
		222-2222

In the parameter of this method, the following code is used to specify the created UserData object:

UserData data = new UserData();
data.addAttribute("tel", "111-2222");

The repository stores the following new user information:

Attribute name	Full name	Tel
Value	Hitachi Taro	111-2222
		--

If an exception occurs during the subcontext update after this method is called, user information is incompletely updated. In this case, remove the cause and then call this method again.
