Sebastien, thanks for that guidance. I've muddled through my Eclipse setup (my Maven plugin is clearly broken but I've managed to download all the jar files needed to build).
Now I'm ready to do some testing. I see the 1.x examples ( http://lsc-project.org/wiki/documentation/1.2/development/addingsourceconnector) showing a custom connector in the old file format. Is there an example in the lsc.xml format? I didn't see a setting here ( http://lsc-project.org/wiki/documentation/2.0/configuration/service) that seemed to fit. private Map<String, LscDatasets> convertSearchEntries( Cursor<SearchResponse> cursor) { TreeMap<Integer, SearchResultEntry> sortMap = new TreeMap<Integer, SearchResultEntry>(); Map<String, LscDatasets> converted = new HashMap<String, LscDatasets>(); for(SearchResponse sr : cursor) { if(sr instanceof SearchResultEntry) { SearchResultEntry sre = (SearchResultEntry) sr; // Tuck the object away based on the depth of its LDAP path sortMap.put(sre.getObjectName().getRdns().size(),sre); } } for(SearchResultEntry sre : sortMap.values()) { converted.put(sre.getObjectName().toString(), convertSearchEntry(sre)); } return converted; } Regards, Hugh On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 10:39 AM, Hugh Kelley <[email protected]> wrote: > I gave that class a quick look and it looks like it can be almost entirely > re-used.
