The Apache Directory Team is proud to announce the availability of version 1.0.0-RC2 of the Apache Directory LDAP API.
The Apache Directory LDAP API is an ongoing effort to provide an enhancedLDAP API, as a replacement for JNDI and the existing LDAP API (jLdap and Mozilla LDAP API). This is a schema aware API, with some convenient ways to access a LDAP server. This API is not only targeting the Apache Directory Server, but should work pristine with any LDAP server. It's also an extensible API : new Controls, schema elements and network layer could be added or used in the near future. It's also OSGi capable. This is the second round of bug fixes before a 1.0.0-GA. Some of those bugs are critical and everyone is invited to migrate to this version. The most important change is the migration to MINA 2.0.16, which fixes a critical SSL issue.
