Method Detail

search

public void search(SearchExecutor se,
                   NameClassPairCallbackHandler handler)
            throws org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException

Perform a search. Use this method only if especially needed - for the most cases there is an overloaded convenience method which calls this one with suitable argments. This method handles all the plumbing; getting a readonly context; looping through the NamingEnumeration and closing the context and enumeration. The actual search is delegated to the SearchExecutor and each found SearchResult is passed to the CallbackHandler. Any encountered NamingException will be translated using the NamingExceptionTranslator.

Parameters:

se - The SearchExecutor to use for performing the actual search.

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

Throws:

org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException - if any error occurs. Note that a NameNotFoundException will be ignored. Instead this is interpreted as no entries being found.

executeReadOnly

public java.lang.Object executeReadOnly(ContextExecutor ce)
                                 throws org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException

Perform an operation (or series of operations) on a read-only context. This method handles the plumbing - getting a DirContext, translating any Exceptions and closing the context afterwards. This method is not intended for searches; use search(SearchExecutor, NameClassPairCallbackHandler) or any of the overloaded search methods for this.

Parameters:

ce - The ContextExecutor to which the actual operation on the DirContext will be delegated.

Returns:

the result from the ContextExecutor's operation.

Throws:

org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException - if the operation resulted in a NamingException.

executeReadWrite

public java.lang.Object executeReadWrite(ContextExecutor ce)
                                  throws org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException

Perform an operation (or series of operations) on a read-write context. This method handles the plumbing - getting a DirContext, translating any exceptions and closing the context afterwards.

Parameters:

ce - The ContextExecutor to which the actual operation on the DirContext will be delegated.

Returns:

the result from the ContextExecutor's operation.

Throws:

org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException - if the operation resulted in a NamingException.

Parameters:

base - The base DN where the search should begin.
