Adding custom attributes in a unit test

[Keith Byrne <ka...@gmail.com>]

I'm using ApacheDS 1.5.1.   I have a unit test that extends
AbstractServerTest.

I need to add a couple of custom attributes in order to simulate Active
Directory (don't ask) in a programmatic way within the unit test.

The documentation that I've found seems to be outdated, how can I easily
accomplish this?

Or is there a way to disable schema checking? Since this won't be a live
ldap server I really don't care about validation.

Thanks.

You are not the only one doing that :)

Doco is badly outdated... Sorry for that !

Have you tried :
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/schema/attribute.html ?

There is a paragraph describing how to add a new AttributeType using 
JNDI. It should work, as ADS is using JNDI as a abstraction layer.

Nope, schema checking is kind of mandatory atm.

Thanks for using ADS !
