Trying to use spring-ldap-1.3.1

[Crowdness]

First let me say that I am a totally newbie when it comes to Spring.

I brought up the Spring API at http://static.springsource.org/sprin...x/javadoc-api/ and right off the bat, I see that there is nothing pointing to the LDAP API.

So I did an internet search to try to figure out how to do what I need to do. I looked through the http://static.springsource.org/sprin...LEASE/apidocs/ and http://static.springsource.org/sprin...basic-searches and I see references to the interface PersonDao.

Is this part of the framework or do I just create this interface and then implement it with say PersonDaoImpl like the example states?

What should be in this interface? LdapTemplate?

Any documentation would be helpful. I want to be able to search and other things to OpenDJ. And the documentation that I found says I should be able to do just that.

Thanks in advance

I suggest that you start from the Spring LDAP documentation, which build upon examples as you go along: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...tml/index.html

But you will need to have some basic knowledge of the Spring framework as a prerequisite.

That is where I started, but the documentation starts out talking about that object and I assumed it was a Framework object. And I could not find the object.

I think I have a little better handle on what I need to do now. But thanks for the reply.

I'll ask more questions as my development using Spring and LDAP matures.

The PersonDao interface is part of the sample code that is included in a particular release download:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/dist.springf...pendencies.zip

Checkout samples/article.

You can also look at the SVN sources:

http://src.springframework.org/svn/s...-1.3.1.RELEASE

Again in samples/article.

It's not a complicated interface:

public interface PersonDao {
   void create(Person person);

   void update(Person person);

   void delete(Person person);

   List getAllPersonNames();

   List findAll();

   Person findByPrimaryKey(String country,
      String company, String fullname);
}
