Issue #57 has been updated by Jonathan Clarke.

Hi J?r?me,

I had a look at your patches. Thanks for posting them.

The first one, in BeanComparator, seems pretty clear - you're handling all 
binary attributes specially, and removing the new String(<binary value>). This 
looks OK, except for one thing I'm unsure about : will bug #45 reappear? We 
should really write a test for that.

About the second one, I am unclear as to what it's trying to do. Could you 
provide some explanation, maybe some comments in the code or a description in 
this issue?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Bug #57: db2ldap : Binary attribute seems to be corrupted
http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/show/57

I am in the process of syncing a MySQL database with an openldap directory.
In the MySQL table, there is a blob containing a JPEG picture of the person.
The SQL field is mapped directly to the jpegPhoto LDAP attribute like that:
<pre>
<result property="jpegPhoto" column="photo"/>
</pre>

The synchronization process is working fine except that the JPEG in the LDAP 
directory seems to be invalid.
An export of the field is not a valid JPEG file and no LDAP browser displays 
the picture correctly.

It seems that binary attributes should be handled differently than others. See 
that "forum 
post":http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t139104-ldap-character-encoding.html
 for information about this.
The parameter "java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary" should contain a list of 
LDAP attributes to be handled as binary.
