Hi, I have tested jldap a while ago, and found it pretty usable.
I don't think there is any danger whatsoever to use them, as Ldap protocol is really protecting you against incompatibility. It's not like JDBC, which can become very proprietary... And as Alex, I don't really like JNDI, too, but this is the way to go for many project embedding a Ldap Server (AppServers and such) Emmanuel On 3/29/07, Alex Karasulu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Tim, Embarrassingly I must admit that I never tried the JLDAP stuff. I have used the netscape API and that worked nicely and prefer it over JNDI but I have never tried it with LDAPS. You're right about JNDI in that it just works tho that's why we deal with it.
