LDAP schema repository. part V
This morning's hack on the schema repository was to pull an attribute type's doc entry off the server and slot it into a Java object that I can dump (currently to LDIF, soon to a man page). Amazingly what I wrote seemed to work right away.
[mcraig@lethe schema]$ cat Test.java
class Test {
public static void main(String [] args) {
SchemaAttributeType sat = new SchemaAttributeType();
try {
sat.read(
"ldap://lethe/schema-oid=2.5.4.38" +
"ou=attribute%20types,ou=schema%20repository");
System.out.println(sat.toLDIF());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
[mcraig@lethe schema]$ java Test
dn: schema-oid=2.5.4.38,ou=attribute types,ou=schema repository
objectClass: top

schema-oid: 2.5.4.38

AAAAAA==</programlisting>

That must not be my fault. The group of folks writing the Java language and the folks writing the LDAP SDK for Java have just managed to do something so simple even dummies can use it.
