Class LdapTemplate

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, LdapOperations

public class LdapTemplate
extends Object
implements LdapOperations, InitializingBean

Executes core LDAP functionality and helps to avoid common errors, relieving the user of the burden of looking up contexts, looping through NamingEnumerations and closing contexts.

Note for Active Directory (AD) users: AD servers are apparently unable to handle referrals automatically, which causes a PartialResultException to be thrown whenever a referral is encountered in a search. To avoid this, set the ignorePartialResultException property to true. There is currently no way of manually handling these referrals in the form of ReferralException, i.e. either you get the exception (and your results are lost) or all referrals are ignored (if the server is unable to handle them properly. Neither is there any simple way to get notified that a PartialResultException has been ignored (other than in the log).

Constructor Detail

LdapTemplate

public LdapTemplate()

Constructor for bean usage.

LdapTemplate

public LdapTemplate(ContextSource contextSource)

Constructor to setup instance directly.

Parameters:

contextSource - the ContextSource to use.

Method Detail

setContextSource

public void setContextSource(ContextSource contextSource)

Set the ContextSource. Call this method when the default constructor has been used.

Parameters:

contextSource - the ContextSource.

getContextSource

public ContextSource getContextSource()

Get the ContextSource.

Returns:

the ContextSource.

setIgnoreNameNotFoundException

public void setIgnoreNameNotFoundException(boolean ignore)

Specify whether NameNotFoundException should be ignored in searches. In previous version, NameNotFoundException caused by the search base not being found was silently ignored. The default behavior is now to treat this as an error (as it should), and to convert and re-throw the exception. The ability to revert to the previous behavior still exists. The only difference is that the incident is in that case no longer silently ignored, but logged as a warning.

Parameters:

ignore - true if NameNotFoundException should be ignored in searches, false otherwise. Default is false.

Since:

1.3

setIgnorePartialResultException

public void setIgnorePartialResultException(boolean ignore)

Specify whether PartialResultException should be ignored in searches. AD servers typically have a problem with referrals. Normally a referral should be followed automatically, but this does not seem to work with AD servers. The problem manifests itself with a a PartialResultException being thrown when a referral is encountered by the server. Setting this property to true presents a workaround to this problem by causing PartialResultException to be ignored, so that the search method returns normally. Default value of this parameter is false.

Parameters:

ignore - true if PartialResultException should be ignored in searches, false otherwise. Default is false.

Specified by:

search in interface LdapOperations

Parameters:

base - The base DN where the search should begin.

filter - The filter to use in the search.

controls - The SearchControls to use in the search.

handler - The NameClassPairCallbackHandler to supply the SearchResult to.

processor - The DirContextProcessor to use before and after the search.

                   NameClassPairCallbackHandler handler,
                   DirContextProcessor processor)

Description copied from interface: LdapOperations

Search for all objects matching the supplied filter. See LdapOperations.search(Name, String, SearchControls, NameClassPairCallbackHandler, DirContextProcessor) for details.

Specified by:

search in interface LdapOperations

Parameters:

base - The base DN where the search should begin.

filter - The filter to use in the search.

controls - The SearchControls to use in the search.

handler - The NameClassPairCallbackHandler to supply the SearchResults to.

processor - The DirContextProcessor to use before and after the search.

search

public void search(SearchExecutor se,
                   NameClassPairCallbackHandler handler,
                   DirContextProcessor processor)

Perform a search operation, such as a search(), list() or listBindings(). This method handles all the plumbing; getting a readonly context; looping through the NamingEnumeration and closing the context and enumeration. It also calls the supplied DirContextProcessor before and after the search, respectively. This enables custom pre-processing and post-processing, like for example when handling paged results or other search controls.

The actual list is delegated to the SearchExecutor and each NameClassPair (this might be a NameClassPair or a subclass thereof) is passed to the CallbackHandler. Any encountered NamingException will be translated using the NamingExceptionTranslator.

Specified by:

search in interface LdapOperations

Parameters:

se - the SearchExecutor to use for performing the actual list.

handler - the NameClassPairCallbackHandler to which each found entry will be passed.

processor - DirContextProcessor for custom pre- and post-processing. Must not be null. If no custom processing should take place, please use e.g. search(SearchExecutor, NameClassPairCallbackHandler).

Throws:

NamingException - if any error occurs. Note that a NameNotFoundException will be ignored. Instead this is interpreted that no entries were found.

modifyAttributes

public void modifyAttributes(DirContextOperations ctx)

Description copied from interface: LdapOperations

Modify the attributes of the entry referenced by the supplied DirContextOperations instance. The DN to update will be the DN of the DirContextOperationsinstance, and the ModificationItem array is retrieved from the DirContextOperations instance using a call to AttributeModificationsAware.getModificationItems(). NB: The supplied instance needs to have been properly initialized; this means that if it hasn't been received from a lookup operation, its DN needs to be initialized and it must have been put in update mode ( DirContextAdapter.setUpdateMode(boolean)).

Typical use of this method would be as follows:

 public void update(Person person) {
        DirContextOperations ctx = ldapOperations.lookupContext(person.getDn());
 
        ctx.setAttributeValue("description", person.getDescription());
        ctx.setAttributeValue("telephoneNumber", person.getPhone());
        // More modifications here
 
        ldapOperations.modifyAttributes(ctx);
 }
 

Specified by:

modifyAttributes in interface LdapOperations

Parameters:

ctx - the DirContextOperations instance to use in the update.

bind

public void bind(DirContextOperations ctx)

Description copied from interface: LdapOperations

Bind the data in the supplied context in the tree. All specified attributes ctxin will be bound to the DN set on ctx.

Example:

 DirContextOperations ctx = new DirContextAdapter(dn);
 ctx.setAttributeValue("cn", "john doe");
 ctx.setAttributeValue("description", "some description");
 //More initialization here.
 
 ldapTemplate.bind(ctx);
 

Specified by:

bind in interface LdapOperations

Parameters:

ctx - the context to bind

rebind

public void rebind(DirContextOperations ctx)

Description copied from interface: LdapOperations

Remove an entry and replace it with a new one. The attributes used to create the entry are retrieved from the ctx parameter. This method assumes that the specified context already exists - if not it will fail. The entry will be bound to the DN set on ctx.

Example:

 DirContextOperations ctx = new DirContextAdapter(dn);
 ctx.setAttributeValue("cn", "john doe");
 ctx.setAttributeValue("description", "some description");
 //More initialization here.
 
 ldapTemplate.rebind(ctx);
 

Specified by:

rebind in interface LdapOperations

Parameters:

ctx - the context to rebind
