Hi,
I have implemented a couple of controls myself. Perhaps the best
approach is to do it right in the Apache Directory API source code. And
contribute it back, of course :-)
Start from any existing control. E.g. you can have a look at my AD
DirSync control
(org.apache.directory.api.ldap.extras.controls.ad.AdDirSync). It is
enough to have some basic idea how LDAP protocol works and how the API
works. Most of the work is mostly copy&paste. There are 3-4 classes to
create. It is not difficult to figure out.

Subject: Re: Ldap API Custom Controls
It's a bit tricky...
What control do you want to implement? Do you have a description ?

Hi,
I am trying to add a custom control. I started by creating a class that
implements "org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.message.Control" and
passing an instance into my request. This didn't seem to work, I'm guessing
because the value for the control is not passed.
When looking at some of the other controls, I found a bunch of Decorator
and Factory classes in another package. Do I need to implement those types
of classes as well? If so, how do I register them? Is there a full example
of creating a custom control somewhere?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
