Re: Jakarta (JSTL) JNDI/LDAP TagLib
If I'm correct, the library does only GET data from an ldap server, it
never SETs (write) data into it... So there would be some work to do
there too. Note that there is also a library called easyldap
(http://easyldap.sourceforge.net/) that seems to do more than the
current version of the Apache library. The problem is that it's GPL,
not Apache. I contacted the authors to see if they would accept a
change of license and to gauge their interest in merging their work with
the one from Apache. I'm waiting for their reply. If they accept, the
work could go faster.

Yes, this library is read only int erms of the tags implemented.

I also have a DirContext taglibrary I've written but I've not separated
from our project on SF. As its author I can release it to Apache.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/thedata/VDC/src/UIS/VDC/WEB-INF/classes/edu/harvard/hmdc/taglib/jndi/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/thedata/VDC/src/UIS/VDC/WEB-INF/tld/vdc/taglib-jndi.tld?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.5
The write part was not that difficult. This library needs alot of work
though.
-Cheers,
