Issue #162 has been updated by Jonathan Clarke. Category set to Core
I think it would be best to use pure Java objects throughout LSC code, such as Sets, Lists and Maps. These are well-known structures, offer clean interfaces and various implementations (think Apache Commons), and not specific to any kind of data source, unlike JNDI objects (think db2db sync for example). Let's define the structures to use, then we can start converting to using them. I had a first go already in BeanComparator. Sets are useful to represent LDAP attribute values (unordered list, with no duplicates). ---------------------------------------- Feature #162: Migrate from JNDI to UnboundId LDAP SdK http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/show/162 Author: Rémy-Christophe Schermesser Status: New Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Core Target version: 1.3 branch I have tested the UnboundId LDAP SDK for Java and it is very easy to use, well easier than JNDI (but what is harder to use than JNDI ? :)). And I think we should migrate from JNDI to this API. Why ? Because the undoundid sdk : * is thread safe, and with the server mode for LSC, I think it is *very* important * is easier to use, is more Java 1.5+ compliant and is actively developed (I think JNDI has not changed since Java 1.5 and it was only for adding some generics) I have looked in the LSC code, and there is a lot of public APIs that uses JNDI objects. So I have thought of two ways to make this migration : * Add deprecation warnings in the 1.2 to all the API that uses JNDI, and make the migration in 1.3 * Use the migration package of UnboundID (http://www.unboundid.com/products/ldapsdk/docs/javadoc/com/unboundid/ldap/sdk/migrate/jndi/JNDIConverter.html), and only change the interior of all our classes. The first solution is a radical one (so I like it very much :)) The second solution will add overhead to the LSC What do you think ?
