Embedded or Separate

[Andrew Wiley <de...@gmail.com>]

I'm building a server application which will be closely integrated with
ApacheDS, but ApacheDS (and the Kerberos protocol provider) needs to be
available to network clients as well. I also need data in the directory to
be persistent.
Should I be running ApacheDS separately or embedding it? If I should be
embedding it, should I provide a configuration file or turn on what I need
in the code?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Andrew Wiley

ApacheDS data will always be written to the disk be it in embedded mode or not
check the location of Directoryservice's workingdirectory

embedded ApacheDS can be available to network clients too(you need to
start LdapServer from your program)

in embedded mode generally the server is configured using various setters
if you want to use config file then take a look at the UberJarMain
class in apacheds-noarch module
