Re: [higgins-dev] LDAP Context Provider provisional approval

Mike,

Oh, THAT's what he meant!  Thanks for interpreting.  :)

Yes, as Jim alluded to, there are probably a couple of LDAPisms that have crept into the implementation of the JNDI CP, though as he said, our usage of the ldap.jar for filter processing isn't one of them.  At any rate, the intent of this CP implementation has always been that it would service any JNDI source and we will be picking a few to test with as we go forward.

Here's a list from which we'll pick a couple of the most interesting JNDI Service Providers to test the Higgins JNDI CP with: http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/serviceproviders.html.  DNS, File System, and Windows Registry I think would be good ones ensure compatibility with first ... anyway, all those JNDI Service Providers listed there were definitely an influence on our usage of the JNDI interface as the original identity abstraction for the Bandit project.

In examining the set of "non-generic-JNDI-isms" in the CP... Oddly enough, this isn't one of them.
 
JNDI itself adopted "LDAP string representation for filters" as it's standard filter format.  Thus, any JNDI provider has to deal with LDAP filters.  The only reason we include LDAP.jar was for some utility functions that help us build these LDAP filters.  We don't use any other aspect of that jar file.

Tom,

Not sure but suspect Tony's point was related to the dependancy on 
LDAP.jar - a more generic JNDI implementation would presumably not need 
that jar.

Thanks,
Mike
