I am looking into using ApacheDS as a production LDAP server and I am trying to find an export tool that is both Java-based and can be scripted. Is there a pure Java export tool? ApacheDS Studio is Java but is a GUI. OpenDS is Java but only works with OpenDS from what I can gather. OpenLDAP's "ldapsearch" is a command line tool, but is not based on Java. So my only option is OpenLDAP tools, I would like to avoid that dependency if possible. -- --- John L Cheng
