Attribute.get() method only can be cast to String ?

[kerchunk]

Greetings all,

now that I've got a working locator, I'm having trouble with the get() method of Attribute - it doesn't seem to want to be cast to anything other than String.

In my LDAP objectClass I have an attribute "isEnabled" that uses an attributeType of boolean. I have a corresponding private Boolean member declared in class EventConfig with a getter/setter pair defined.

so in my java

        String hardcode ="cn=cut,ou=knot,ou=auditLogger,dc=jpost3,dc=dev,dc=abccorp,dc=com";
        result = (EventConfig) ldapTemplate.lookup( hardcode, new EventConfigAttributesMapper() );
     .....
    //creator
    private class EventConfigAttributesMapper implements AttributesMapper {
        public Object mapFromAttributes(Attributes attrs) throws NamingException {
            EventConfig ec = new EventConfig();
//          Attribute kver = attrs.get("isEnabled");
//          if( kver != null) ec.setIsEnabled( (Boolean)attrs.get("isEnabled").get());

            return ec;
         }
    }

the program runs fine and returns the object from LDAP when the lines in the mapper are commented out as shown. But uncommenting causes the lookup to fail .

LDAP object classes can be made up of attributes with a wide array of attribute types besides String - can't Spring's Attribute.get() method handle these?


TIA,

You said it fails, can you post the error that you're seeing when it fails?
