[jira] Commented: (DIREVE-270) Let users can choose an ApacheDS instance by specifying instance ID in a URL instead of Configuration object.

["Jacob S. Barrett (JIRA)" <di...@incubator.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-270?page=comments#action_12331514 ] 

Jacob S. Barrett commented on DIREVE-270:
-----------------------------------------

apacheds://<instance>/<base dn>

So for example if my instance was foo and my base was cn=bar:
apacheds://foo/cn=bar

I like this because if has the same look and feel as the LDAP url.  I chose "apacheds" as the protocol section because we shouldn't use LDAP since this not using LDAP to access the context but rather some "internal protocol".

> Even though we can specify an instance ID to select an appropriate ApacheDS instance via a Configuration object, this makes users have to be aware of ApacheDS-specific classes unfortunately.  We could provide the better place to specify an instance ID - a URL.
> The format of URL is TBD.  Please let me know your idea by commenting here.
