Hi there,
we are using ApacheDS respectively the Maven ApacheDS Plugin to run our
integration tests against a clean LDAP server instance and therefore populate
it with the according schema information and setup data on test startup. We
have different ldif files for schema and setup data especially named in
alphabetical order
to ensure, that the schema information is loaded before the setup data.
Although this works fine for e.g. on MacOSX it does not work on Linux due to
the following
Code Snippet from class org.apache.directory.server.configuration.ApacheDS
else
{
// get all the ldif files within the directory (should be sorted
alphabetically)
File[] ldifFiles = ldifDirectory.listFiles( new FileFilter()
{
public boolean accept( File pathname )
{
boolean isLdif = pathname.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(
".ldif" );
return pathname.isFile() && pathname.canRead() && isLdif;
}
} );
According to Javadoc of class java.io.File
Returns an array of abstract pathnames denoting the files in the directory
denoted by this abstract pathname.
If this abstract pathname does not denote a directory, then this method returns
null. Otherwise an array of File objects is returned, one for each file or
directory in the directory. Pathnames denoting the directory itself and the
directory's parent directory are not included in the result. Each resulting
abstract pathname is constructed from this abstract pathname using the
File(File, String) constructor. Therefore if this pathname is absolute then
each resulting pathname is absolute; if this pathname is relative then each
resulting pathname will be relative to the same directory.
-> There is no guarantee that the name strings in the resulting array will
appear in any specific order; they are not, in particular, guaranteed to appear
in alphabetical order.
the assumption stated in the code snippet above is not valid and depends on the
platform resp. Java implementation.
In order to be platform independent the retrieved array of ldif files should be
sorted in alphabetical order explicitly after retrieval.
so you want them in a sorted order right, can you create a JIRA for this, will
fix it
Since I'm not a committer could someone please provide a patch for this problem?
When will the next version of the maven ApacheDS plugin be available depending
on the most current ApacheDS version (hopefully including a fix for this
problem)? Currently it refers to 1.5.5...
this is not a official plugin from Apache Directory Project, so can't say when
it gets updated
Kind regards,
CAK
