Hello once more,
I was inserting/removing whitespaces myself and finally got it
working. Thanks for pointing it out anyway Ersin. Has there been any
improvement on this area in version 1.5? Or perhaps something planned
for version 2.0? It can be very frustrating trying to figure out where
whitespaces are needed, and the ACI system is an essential part of a
directory service. I'm thinking out loud here, but wouldn't it be more
practical and less error prone to setup aci settings using an extended
javax.naming.directory.Attribute class? A prescriptiveACI entry would
look something like this:
Attribute prescriptiveACI = new BasicAttribute();
Attribute prescriptiveACIentry1 = new prescriptiveACIAttribute();
prescriptiveACIentry1.setID("anID");
prescriptiveACIentry1.setPrecedence(11);
prescriptiveACIentry1.setUserFirst(true);
prescriptiveACIentry1.setUserClasses(new
userClass("uid=xxxx,ou=xxxxx,o=xxx"));
OR
prescriptiveACIentry1.setUserClasses(userClasses);//userClasses is a
collection
Collection<Tuples> tuples = new ArrayList<Tuples>();
Collection<ProtectedItems> pi = new ArrayList<ProtectedItems>();
pi.add(new ProtectedItem(PROTECTEDITEMS.entry);
pi.add(new ProtectedItem(PROTECTEDITEMS.allUserAttributesTypesAndValues.);
Collection<GrantsAndDenials> gad = new ArrayList<GrantsAndDenials>();
gad.add(GRANTSANDDENIALS.grantAdd);
gad.add(GRANTSANDDENIALS.grantRemove);
tuples.add(new Tuples(pi,gad));
prescriptiveACIentry1.setTuples(tuples);
prescriptiveACI.add(prescriptiveACIentry1);
This way looks a lot more clean, a lot more Java is a lot less error
prone and doesn't deviate from the essence of the X.501 spec. Thoughts
anyone?
Regards,
Andreas
