i need some help! thanks in adv.

This is probably caused by the temporary apacheDS data file being corrupt. Try removing the directory Documents and settings\[user]\Local Settings\Temp\ldaptemplate_apacheds

[allen-zhe]

thanks for ur advice, Mr. Arthursson. i tryed ur method, but it didn't work!
i cleaned my temp files, and restored my ApahceDS, still got this error!
got any other advice, Mr. Arthursson?

by the way, mine ApacheDS's version is 1.0.0.

You could also try deleting the ldaptemplate_apacheds directory in Tomcat's temp dir, as well as the ldap-person in Tomcat's work/Catalina/localhost directory.

[allen-zhe]

thanks a lot, ulsa! it works now!
but why this happened? do i have to delete temp files everytime?

[ulsa]

I can't say for sure, but I believe we got this problem when we upgraded from an ApacheDS release candidate to 1.0.0. Perhaps you have run the sample application with an earlier release of Spring LDAP before?

You should not have to do this every time, but if you run into problems with Tomcat, deleting files from the work and temp dirs usually does the trick.
