Hi Apache DS team -
As per your invitation to ask for help at the bottom of
http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/42-using-apacheds-for-unit-tests.html,
I do have a question for you.
I've succeeded starting up and connecting to the standalone server,
and in setting up the embedded server. Next I started looking at the
unit testing instructions on your website, but have come to a dilemma.
In the section "Creating a Blank Test", it is stated that "...let's
declare the framework for a simple unit test, using a server which will
be used through socket (the first free port above 1023 will be used)..."
- and I see from looking at the LdapServerFactory source that indeed
this is how it is done. I wonder however if there are any hidden hooks
you might have that would allow us to control what port is used - or to
at least find out at runtime what port has been selected.
We'd need this information because we are using iBatis, connecting
to a JDBC-LDAP bridge driver (http://myvd.sourceforge.net/bridge.html).
To make the iBatis connection, we need a database URL, something like
jdbc:ldap://localhost:10389/ou=system (which works out of the box with
the standalone service for Apache DS). So one way or the other, we'd
need to at a minimum know what port is in use, or better yet be able to
set that port explicitly.
Any ideas? Thanks mucho for any help here -
Best,
Gary Horton
