[OT] Is studio using Sun's ldap service provider?
Hi, dears
I investigated those jars in studio used to connect to ldap server. Seems
they uses Sun's service provider.
>From JndiConnectionContext:
public void connect( String host, int port, boolean useLdaps, boolean
useStartTLS, Control[] connCtls,
ExtendedProgressMonitor monitor ) throws NamingException
{
this.environment = new Hashtable<String, String>();
this.environment.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
this.environment.put( "java.naming.ldap.version", "3" );
//$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
// more logic here......
}
The problem is, harmony as a JDK, is the provider for such things like
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory. We aims to provide our compatible
implementation. Such as org.apache.harmony.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory.
So, may be we could not used studio code directly.
But, at least, test cases for the studio will be invaluable asset for us.

Sure, in Studio we can do this, that is not a big deal. I think the
jndi.properties file is the right place for this. We could also add a
prefernce dialog to enter the right provider. Could you please create a
Jira about that?

As mentioned before we have a LDAP client implementation, see here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/directory/shared/trunk/ldap/src/main/java/org/apache/directory/shared/ldap/
It includes all request and response messages of the LDAP protocol
(bind, search, modify, ...) as well as an filter parser, DN parser and
URL parser.

I think we can have an improvement here - we factor those hard-coded name
out into a property file. Can we?
Take into account that we are all apache developers, leave a place for
harmony would be very touching. Just joking. :-)

The problem is here, to some degree a little interesting :)
Harmony is trying to implement its own LdapCtxFactory, whose main
focus is a ldap client.
So we are exploring whether there is some feature in ldap server
can be reused in implementing ldap client.
Is it all right, Spark?

Hi Spark,
I agree with Emmanuel, the Sun provider is hardcoded in Studio.
However from my expirience, there are a lot of applications out there
using "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory" hardcoded in the code, so they
won't run with Harmony.
Is it possible to add this class into harmony, maybe only as a delegate
to the real implemention? The JDKs of IBM and BEA include this class
too, but I don't know if they just relicensed it from Sun.
Kind Regards,
Stefan Seelmann

Hi,
studio is based on JNDI to communicate with any ldap server. Studio is
just a tool.
If you want to reuse the connect() method, then you just have to change
the SUN provider by the Harmony provider in the code.
