[SCHEMA] m-dependencies?
Wooohooo!!
I added a new Schema entry and verified it through
LS. ADS and LDAP is such an mesmerizing combination.
I noticed that some of the some (maybe all) of the schema entries
use m-dependencies attributes with values like "core" and "system".
So I just added [m-dependencies, system] to the "cn=xsd" schema entry,
just in case. Should I keep it?
Thanks,
- Ole

That dependency feature is not present at the moment, when generating the
LDIF corresponding to a schema, in the Schemas Editor Plugin for LS.
We'll need to add it in the next version...
P-A M.

Hey Alex,
Brilliant - I'll be using that when defining
inheritance hierarchies for ObjectClasses
(Corresponding to DataObject Type(s) ) that have
inheritance relationships.
Thanks,

Oh to answer your question if you depend on a schema object in the system
schema then you need to have system as a value of m-dependencies. If not
then you don't. Usually system has so many useful things in there that
everything usually depends on it.

I think Ole is asking if the schema he just added to ADS should have a
m-dependency attribute value of system.
Ole this attribute denotes a dependency between schemas. If your new schema
uses say an attributeType defined in another schema then you must reference
that other schema with a m-dependencies value.
The reason for this is due to the way schema data is initialized. ApacheDS
must be able to access the parent attributeType in this example to extract
additional information in the attribute hierarchy. To do this the parent AT
must be resolved first. Which means the schema we depend on must be loaded
first. These dependency values tell the server "hey load these schemas
which I depend on before loading me".

Hmmm. We have used the 'm-' prefix for 'meta' (metaSchema). You should
try to avoid this ugly prefix (it's a little bit like using '$' in your
java names : it's allowed, but used internally by compilers for inner
classes)
