Hi,

I'm sorry but I can't get this to work. I will explain every step I
took. Please try to explain to me also step by step what I'm missing. If
you are unclear about what I did at some point, please ask. I really
want to get this working.

I used the schema editor from Directory Studio and created a new schema
project. In the project I included the already existing schemas 'java',
'core' and 'system'. Next I created a new schema called 'openengsb'. I
created my attributetypes and objectclasses. Then I clicked 'export
schema for Apacheds'. Then I connected to the server and imported the
ldif. The schema is now under cn=openengsb,ou=schema. I can also create
entries from my schema objects.

However, in my application I can use my own schema objects ONLY if I
don't use connection.loadSchema(). I know that loadSchema() only loads
the default schemas that are bundled with the api. But how can I make my
application aware of my schema / load my own schema?

Thank you,
kind regards,
Christoph

I made a JIRA for it:

It's a bit complicated. Right now, there is no way in the API to inject 
your own schema into the connection. This was not clear when the method 
name was loadSchema, so it was renamed to loadDefaultSchema().

We are working to add such a feature to the api, so that you can inject 
your own schema elements locally.

Not that it's really complicated - all in all, we are using the exact 
same underlying code on the API and on the server to manage schema - 
it's just that we need to extend the API.

This is something we are working on this week.
May I suggested that you create a JIRA requesting that we extend the API 
by adding a way to create a new schema, and to allow the injection of 
shcema elements into it (AT, OC, etc) ?

Thanks !

Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible to load any custom schema.

We currently have an opened JIRA issue about having a method to load the whole server schema exposed through the subSchemaSubEntry attribute in the RootDSE:
DIRAPI-46 (Add a generic schema loader which looks for schema elements under the value of the 'subschemaSubentry' of the RootDSE) [1]

That's an option, but it's an heavy one. See my response in another thread.

Yes, that's it! Thank you very much. Really nice to see my schema there.

you have to use the NetworkSchemaLoader to load the schema present on
the server (this only works for ApacheDS)

1. create LdapNetworkConnection
2. bind to the server using the above connection
3. create an instance of NetworkSchemaLoader using the above connection
3. call connection.loadSchema() by passing the schema loader created in step 3
