[ApacheDS] Implementing an alternative Backend
I see there is not alot of information on the web page about building
and alternative Backend. Can someone point me in a good direction to
get started ? Is there an example pom.xml with dependencies to build a
backend ? Once I build my class file, how do I install/configure it so
it can be used ?
I want to create a bridge between Outlook Address Book and a SQL
database. I figured the best way would be to use Apache Directory and
write a custom Backend using JDBC calls to my DB.
Any help is appreciated.

Sure: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIR-237
In my quest I have found that ApacheDS 1.0.x works well with
Thunderbird, but not Outlook 2003.
So I decided to give 1.5.x a go only to find that the 1.5 docs seem to
be a copy from the 1.0 branch ( not very accurate ). Would you like me
to create a JIRA for each doc issue, attach all items to 1 JIRA, or is
there a way I can help directly with the documentation ?

Can you create a JIRA ? We wilol try to update the doco in one big
shot, but having a list of outdated pages in JIRA will certainly help.
And if you have some proposal for a better page, feel free to attach
it :)
Thanks !

For what you want to do, you dont need to implement a custom backend - a custom search interceptor is the way to do. Its quiet each to implement, just implement the interceptor interface, overwrite the search method and - this is the research part you have to do on your own, figure out how to return the correct values (i.e. howto create a serversearchentry etc)
