[ApacheDS Embedded] Reusing a Connection Environment

[Ole Ersoy <ol...@gmail.com>]

Hey Guys,

This is pretty minor, but I thought I'd mention it.  While working on the testing archetype, I tried reusing a createEnvironment() method when creating the environment for the Embedded LdapContext.  I get a NamingException when doing this.  It says it can't parse "ou=system".  If I do a "fresh" Hashtable for the environment, with the exact same key-value pairs the test is green.  I thought this was very odd, so I tried it over and over, in all sorts of creative ways.  The same thing works fine for non-embedded connections.  It's almost like a security manager is preventing the class from using a environment created in a different class.

Cheers,
- Ole

I still need to try that.  I tried creating a new Hashtable, passing it to the initialization routine, and then overriding Context.PROVIDER_URL, and that fails.

Indeed.  The whole archetype I'm about to submit is the TestCase.  All you have to do is run it, then instead of using the "New" Hashtable for the embedded connection, do this:

env = createEnvironment(env);

This will initialize the env.  Then try using it.  Now if I can just get subclipse installed.  Eclipse 3.2 is barking.  I'm going to have to go command line I think.  Just have to do it.  Deep breath.

What about cloning the existing env, before reusing it ?

Can you provide a test case for this problem ?
