lucas theisen updated DIRAPI-163:
---------------------------------
Attachment: LdapConnectionTemplate.java
An initial proposed template. It is by no means complete and possibly does not
fit with the intentions of the directory team. However, I find it very useful.
A couple things to note are:
* I wrap LdapException in LdapRuntimeException because I find nearly all
LdapException's I encounter to be non-recoverable failures though that may not
be the case for everyone. By wrapping them this way, it makes the client code
cleaner as it only needs to catch or throw them if it has some way of dealing
with it. This is an approach some people like, some dont.
* The newXxx() methods are there to abstract the implementation class from the
consumer.
* This makes use of my other proposed solution LdapConnections (DIRSERVER-1938)
which provides an abstraction for obtaining a pooled admin connection or a new
user connection.
* There is a MemoryClearingBuffer class that offers translations from char[] to
byte[] and back including the ability to strip leading and trailing whitespace
and collapse to lowercase which is useful for comparing close matches for
things like forgotten password answers. It will clear the memory used by any
temporary buffer upon request to reduce the possibility that sensitive info
will not get dumped in a heap dump (like jvm crash).
