Alternate back-ends
We are looking to connect Apache Directory to an existing database in
one of our products. I have the one small example on replacing a back
end, is there any more information out there? The one example seems to
show specifying a different backend another way, through server.xml for
instance? Any information you are aware of would likely be helpful.
Also, is this the right place to ask about building the apache source or
should I ask a different mailing list?
Thanks,
Dan Barber

Using a RDBMS as a backend is certainly not an easy task, regarding the
data structure. Howeve, it can be done, as IBM backs IDS with DB2.
Doing so with ADS will certainly take more than one month...
Hopefully, people like you may help :)

Well, there is not so much informations about switching from JDBM to
another backend, because it has not been done yet. But if you feel like
doing it, we will be there to help, for sure !
Which database are you targeting?

Sure, this is the right place. Which version are you using ?

Emmanuel,
Thanks for all the help so far. I've switched to 2.0.6 of Maven. I initially had installed that then switched to 2.0.4, now I've switched back.
I'm using the 6.0_01 version of the jdk.
I've attached the log I think you were wanting to see. Let me know if I need to paste it in rather than attach it.
Thanks,
Dan

I think you need maven 2.0.5, now (AFAIK, there are some bugs in 2.0.4
which can cause pbs). 2.0.6 will work too.
Which JVM are you using ?

It would be interesting to have the surefire logs (it's generated by
maven, with the failing class name followed by a .txt, like
testRFC2849Sample2(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.ImportCommandTest.txt
somwhere on your disk.

I'll get back to you in just on bit on which database we are targeting. I'm still very new to the project and not entirely sure to be honest. I've asked for that information and will get back to you.
As far as building the source. We need to target 1.5 due to it's increased support for secure logins. I've been using the instructions from this page, http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/building-trunks.html. It's quite possible that I've just simply missed a step or done something silly since some of these tools are still new to me.
I have installed Maven 2.0.4.
I've installed SVN and run the command
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/apacheds/trunk-with-dependencies/ apacheds-trunk
Then, inside the directory apacheds-trunk I run mvn install. Here are the errors I'm getting.
Failed tests:
testOneEntryImport(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import
CommandTest)
testTenEntriesImport(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Impo
rtCommandTest)
testTwoEntriesImportOneOnErrorAndOneOk(org.apache.directory.server.tools.comma
nds.importcmd.ImportCommandTest)
testOneEntryImportWithEntryAddedNotification(org.apache.directory.server.tools
.commands.importcmd.ImportCommandTest)
testRFC2849Sample1(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import
CommandTest)
testRFC2849Sample2(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import
CommandTest)
testRFC2849Sample3(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.importcmd.Import
CommandTest)
testRFC2849Sample3VariousSpacing(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.im
portcmd.ImportCommandTest)
testExportCommand(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.exportcmd.ExportC
ommandTest)
testOneEntryImport(org.apache.directory.server.tools.commands.gracefulshutdown
cmd.GracefulShutdownCommandTest)
My guess is I've just missed something simple. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Dan Barber
