LDAP, as the name implies, is a Directory Access Protocol. As such, you cannot use JDBC to establish connections. However, java does provide an analagous interface for accessing Naming and Directory Services (LDAP, DNS, etc) known as the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI).
A good starting point to learn more about JNDI is 'Developing a White Pages Service with LDAP and JNDI' by Budi Kurniawan (http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/05/21/jndi.html) HTH, Ian "Oliver Thiel" <thiel.oliver@ To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> gmx.de> cc: Subject: LDAP + DataSource 01/23/2004 07:55 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" Hi all, Is it possible to set up a DataSource for LDAP?
