Ldapcontextsource bean properties

[paadby]

Hi,
In the following sample configuration file the ldapcontextsource bean is being instantiated with 4 properties.

  <beans>
<bean id="contextSource" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource">
<property name="url" value="ldap://localhost:389" />
<property name="base" value="dc=example,dc=com" />
<property name="userDn" value="cn=Manager" />
<property name="password" value="secret" />
</bean>
<bean id="ldapTemplate" class="org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate">
<constructor-arg ref="contextSource" />
</bean>
<bean id="personDao" class="com.example.dao.PersonDaoImpl">
<property name="ldapTemplate" ref="ldapTemplate" />
</bean>
</beans>

But in the java doc the ldapcontextsource class has only three inherited properties. Why is this?
Thanks.

The Ldapcontextsource has several properties in addition to the four you have in the sample config file. Look under the "Methods Inherited from AbstractContextSource" section of the Javadoc for a complete list: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...extSource.html

When you set a property using <propery /> tag in a Spring bean, Spring invokes the setter method of the bean to set the property.

Ok, I see them now, the properties are listed as private fields in abstractcontextsource source code here: http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/view/...java?format=ok
Thanks.
