Schema manipulation API

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

as I'm playing a bit with the schema API those days, I'm finding it a 
bit painfull. I'm not sure our users would like to deal with m-XXX 
attributes.

Even if the current documentation 
(http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/31-add-your-first-elements-to-the-schema.html) 
is currently up to date, we might like to add two or three more things :
- A direct API (not JNDI based) for embedded server
- A simple API allowing a user to inject a RFC based schema (ie, either 
a string or a file)
- and a simple way to enable an existing schema programatically (it's 
really a PITA atm)

Does it makes sense to you? Anyone want to draft something quickly ?

Thanks !

I added two other ways how to add schema elements to the wiki page:
- Using LDIF to load schema elements in RFC 4512 format
- Using JNDI to add schema elements in RFC 4512 format programmatically
