Constructor Detail

Ldif

public Ldif()

Method Detail

getLdapBeanFactory

public LdapBeanFactory getLdapBeanFactory()

Returns the factory for creating ldap beans.

Returns:

LdapBeanFactory

setLdapBeanFactory

public void setLdapBeanFactory(LdapBeanFactory lbf)

Sets the factory for creating ldap beans.

Parameters:

lbf - LdapBeanFactory

createLdif

public String createLdif(Iterator<SearchResult> results)

This will take the results of a prior LDAP query and convert it to LDIF.

Parameters:

results - Iterator of LDAP search results

Returns:

String

createLdif

public String createLdif(LdapResult result)

This will take the results of a prior LDAP query and convert it to LDIF.

Parameters:

result - LdapResult

Returns:

String

createLdifEntry

protected String createLdifEntry(LdapEntry ldapEntry)

This will take an LDAP entry and convert it to LDIF.

Parameters:

ldapEntry - LdapEntry to convert

Returns:

String

outputLdif

public void outputLdif(Iterator<SearchResult> results,
              Writer writer)
                throws IOException

This will write the supplied LDAP search results to the supplied writer in LDIF form.

Parameters:

results - Iterator of LDAP search results

writer - Writer to write to

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while writing to the output stream

outputLdif

public void outputLdif(LdapResult result,
              Writer writer)
                throws IOException

This will write the supplied LDAP search results to the supplied writer in LDIF form.

Parameters:

result - LdapResult

writer - Writer to write to

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs while writing to the output stream

importLdif

public Iterator<SearchResult> importLdif(Reader reader)
                                  throws IOException

This will take a Reader containing an LDIF and convert it to an Iterator of LDAP search results. Provides a loose implementation of RFC 2849. Should not be used to validate LDIF format as it does not enforce strictness.

Parameters:

reader - Reader containing LDIF content

Returns:

Iterator - of LDAP search results

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

importLdifToLdapResult

public LdapResult importLdifToLdapResult(Reader reader)
                                  throws IOException

This will take a Reader containing an LDIF and convert it to an LdapResult. Provides a loose implementation of RFC 2849. Should not be used to validate LDIF format as it does not enforce strictness.

Parameters:

reader - Reader containing LDIF content

Returns:

LdapResult - LDAP search results

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
