Renaming the NetworkSchemaLoader
Hi,
i'd like to rename the NetworkSchemaLoader to something like
AdsSchemaLoader, as it's really dedicated to our own server (it reads
the LDIF files from the schema partition in ou=schema).
Now that the SsseSchemaLoader is working, we can access the schema from
ADS in two ways :
- reading it from cn=schema (SsseSchemaLoader)
- reading it from ou=schema (AdsSchemaLoader)
For all the other servers, the way to go is to use the SsseSchemaLoader.
It may also be a good idea to rename the SsseSchemaLoader to something
more user friendly, like ServerSchemaLoader, to reflect what it does :
loading the schemas from a remote server.
Wdyt ?
Note : We have now 6 implementations of the SchemaLoader interface :
- JarLdifSchemaLoader, loading the schemas from a jar containing our
(ADS) schemas
- LdifSchemaLoader, loading the schemas from a hierarchy of LDIF files
(still in ADS format)
- SingleLdifSchemaLoader, loading the schema from one big ldif file (ADS
format)
- SchemaEditorSchemaLoader, loading the schemas from files in XML or
OpenLDAP format (used by Studio)
- SsseSchemaLoader, loading the schema from a connected LDAP server,
using the rootDSE subschemaSubentry attribute as a starting point
- NetworkSchemaLoader, loading the schemas from ou=config in ADS.

I would even drop Network from the name :
- AdsSchemaLoader : for ADS
- LdapSchemaLoader : for any other LDAP server (we pull the schema from
the subschemaSubentry)
And LdapSchemaLoader will of course replace the horrible
Sssssss(tsss)eSchemaLoader !

I agree these names may not be very obvious for the casual user.
My personal preference would go to:
- DefaultNetworkSchemaLoader
- ApacheDsNetworkSchemaLoader (I find it more explicit than with 'Ads' as this class will be in the API and people may not be very familiar with the 'Ads' prefix, no to say that many people abbreviate Studio as ADS too)

Horrible descriptor name: can't we do better than these? I have no idea
what an SsseSchemaLoader is and I'm intimately familiar LDAP.

Remote to me means over the wire, a.k.a. over the network. So I'd use
AdsNetworkSchemaLoader instead of just AdsSL because it's more descriptive.
This Ssse thing has my head spinning.

Ooooooohhhhh but how do we say this without saying this by picking a nice
name for this SchemaLoader? Maybe not so easy. Maybe ...
StandardNetworkSchemaLoader, or DefaultNetworkSchemaLoader ... idea is
using the standard LDAP mechanism by looking up the subschema subentry.

I'd call this AdsNetworkSchemaLoader.
