binary attributes (objectGUID) - programmatically set the environment

[Yan Falken]

Hi,

I need to programmatically set the following piece of configuration xml in spring:

<property name="baseEnvironmentProperties">
<map>
<entry key="java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary" value="objectGUID"/>
</map>
</property>

I tried to set the property of the environment AFTER the container startup but I got the exception: java.lang.String cannot be cast to [B

if I use it from xml configuration descriptor it works fine.

please help

Thanks in advance.

Did you remember to call afterPropertiesSet on your (Abstract)ContextSource?

AbstractContextSource contextSource = (AbstractContextSource) ldapTemplate.getContextSource();
Map<String,String> baseEnvironmentProperties = new HashMap<String, String>();
baseEnvironmentProperties.put("java.naming.ldap.attributes.binary", "objectGUID");
contextSource.setBaseEnvironmentProperties(baseEnvironmentProperties);
contextSource.afterPropertiesSet();
