ldaptemplate.bind EntryNotFoundException

[bdrhoa]

I'm using Spring with Xfire and LDAPTemplate to build a web service
that given some "external key (e.g. ssn)", creates a unique id in form
of a random 9 digit number (called a TPIN). The service creates
entries in a Sun LDAP directory.

I'm getting the following error:

net.sf.ldaptemplate.EntryNotFoundException: Entry not found; nested
exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException:
[LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]; remaining name 'uid=778259765,
ou=7, ou=identities, o=TAP'

Below is my applicationContext.xml, followed by my ldaptempplate code,
followed by JNDI code that works correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

I got to the LDAP server access log and that when I use ldamptemplate, the server is getting:

ADD dn="uid=991999723, ou=9, ou=identities, o=TAP,o=tap/o=tap"

instead of

ADD dn="uid=300000007,ou=3,ou=identities,o=tap"

which is what my jndi code sends.

I got it working!

I changed my applicationcontext.xml to

...
<property name="url" value="ldap://myldap.com:14000/" />
<property name="base" value="o=tap" />
...

and at the moment I'm creating my dn by hand:

tempDn = "uid=" + String.valueOf(tpin) + ",ou=" + 
                String.valueOf(String.valueOf(tpin).charAt(0)) + ",ou=identities";
                
dn = new DistinguishedName (tempDn);

but I'm pretty sure what I had before will work if just change my code to:

...
 public static final String BASE_DN = ""
...

or I could probably drop that line completely and just do

...
DistinguishedName  dn = new DistinguishedName ();
...

I'll verify when I get back from vacation.

Quite right, there's no need to manually build the DN; it should work if you start with an empty DistinguishedName.
