Hi there,
I have managed to get openldap setup with jboss connecting to it (by the method of editing jboss-service.xml and a properties file).
Properties file:
java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
java.naming.provider.url=ldap://localhost:389/dc=testing,dc=com
java.naming.security.principal=cn=Manager,dc=testing,dc=com
java.naming.security.authentication=simple
java.naming.security.credentials=secret
addition to jboss-service.xml:
<mbean code="org.jboss.naming.ExternalContext" name=":service=ExternalContext,jndiName=/ldap/configuration" >
<attribute name="JndiName">/ldap/configuration</attribute>
<attribute name="PropertiesURL">configuration.ldap</attribute>
<attribute name="InitialContext">javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext</attribute>
<attribute name="RemoteAccess">true</attribute>
</mbean>
This all seems to work fine as when I start up Jboss I can see openldap logging say that a manager has connected.
In my servlet however I try to look up the JNDI resource.
InitialDirContext iniCtx = new InitialDirContext();
Object ldap = iniCtx.lookup("/ldap/configuration");
This works fine, but I am not sure what to cast it as. I try casting as LdapCtxFactory and I get a
java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy61 Any ideas?
