RE: Adding LDAP support into my viewer client

[Mark Wood-Patrick <mw...@gmail.com>]

I'll wait on the Apache Shiro before I continue with my work on LDAP

I'll look into adding Scala support after I have gotten more experience with
the framework for that I'm planning on trying to create a viewer using
http://emberjs.com/ first

is likely to supercede the LDAP implementation.  I hope to have that working
by the end of the week, and expect to put it out as a released submodule
later this month.

I think you are misreading that page; that merely shows the syntax for
including a module using Scala's sbt build tool.

In fact, Isis' pluggable programming model does has the capability to
support other programming languages, and I did do some work on supporting
groovy as a language.  In theory other programming languages could also be
supported.  I did look very briefly at Scala, but the integration would
definitely be more complex because the Scala compiler does rather more
exotic things.

If getting Scala support is very important to you, then of course you should
raise a JIRA ticket.  However, it's not really particularly high up on my
priorities.  If you fancy taking a crack at it, I'm happy to provide some
pointers.  (The Groovy support only took me an evening to get going, so it
might not be that difficult.  But the tricky bit is in testing it in a
real-world situation to make sure that it works in practice).

Just to come back to this thread... the LDAP support is now committed into
trunk, see [1]

Later this week we'll be integrating into ActiveDirectory, which I expect
will require some custom coding; and it seems that some custom coding is
always required when talking to LDAP.  But at least there's some working
code to use as a starting point.
