I've come so far to have an ApacheDS running with to partitions:
ou=system and o=community4you.de, the latter being backed (kind of ;))
by open-EIS. To ease testing, I'd like to access my own partition via
JNDI. After everything is set up, I start the server using this code
snippet:
Hashtable<String, Object> _environment = new Hashtable<String, Object>();
_environment.put ("java.naming.security.authentication", "simple");
_environment.put ("java.naming.security.principal", "uid=admin,ou=system");
_environment.put ("java.naming.security.credentials", "secret");
_environment.put ("java.naming.provider.url", "ou=system");
_environment.put ("java.naming.factory.initial",
"org.apache.directory.server.jndi.ServerContextFactory");
_environment.put
("org.apache.directory.server.core.configuration.Configuration", _serverconfig);
// this actually starts up the server
InitialDirContext _idc = new InitialDirContext (_environment);
Attributes _testattrs = _idc.getAttributes("uid=admin");
System.out.println ("initialized: uid="+_testattrs.get("uid"));
But how do I get access to my o=community4you.de partition? I suppose,
creating another InitialDirCotext is not the way to go (I'd have to
provide all the internal stuff, object classes, attriute types etc
myself, I suppose), but everything I can do with that context I created,
is relative to it, so I can't actually access my own partition.
Any advice on this?
Thanks,
Tino.
