Extends the <tt>javax.naming</tt> package to provide functionality |
|
32 |
for accessing directory services. |
|
33 |
||
34 |
<p> |
|
35 |
This package defines the directory operations of the Java Naming and |
|
| 30678 | 36 |
Directory Interface™ (JNDI). |
| 2 | 37 |
JNDI provides naming and directory functionality to applications |
38 |
written in the Java programming language. It is designed to be |
|
39 |
independent of any specific naming or directory service |
|
40 |
implementation. Thus a variety of services--new, emerging, and |
|
41 |
already deployed ones--can be accessed in a common way. |
|
42 |
||
43 |
<p> |
|
44 |
This package allows applications to retrieve and update attributes |
|
45 |
associated with objects stored in a directory, and to search for |
|
46 |
objects using specified attributes. |
|
47 |
||
48 |
<h4>The Directory Context</h4> |
|
49 |
||
50 |
The <tt>DirContext</tt> |
|
51 |
interface represents a <em>directory context</em>. |
|
52 |
It defines methods for examining and updating attributes associated with a |
|
53 |
<em>directory object</em>, or <em>directory entry</em> as it is sometimes |
|
54 |
called. |
|
55 |
<p> |
|
56 |
You use <tt>getAttributes()</tt> to retrieve the attributes |
|
57 |
associated with a directory object (for which you supply the name). |
|
58 |
Attributes are modified using <tt>modifyAttributes()</tt>. |
|
59 |
You can add, replace, or remove attributes and/or attribute values |
|
60 |
using this operation. |
|
61 |
<p> |
|
62 |
<tt>DirContext</tt> also behaves as a naming context |
|
63 |
by extending the <tt>Context</tt> interface in the <tt>javax.naming</tt> package. |
|
64 |
This means that any directory object can also provide |
|
65 |
a naming context. |
|
66 |
For example, the directory object for a person might contain |
|
67 |
the attributes of that person, and at the same time provide |
|
68 |
a context for naming objects relative to that person |
|
69 |
such as his printers and home directory. |
|
70 |
||
71 |
<h4>Searches</h4> |
|
72 |
<tt>DirContext</tt> contains methods for |
|
73 |
performing content-based searching of the directory. |
|
74 |
In the simplest and most common form of usage, the application |
|
75 |
specifies a set of attributes--possibly with specific |
|
76 |
values--to match, and submits this attribute set, to the |
|
77 |
<tt>search()</tt> method. |
|
78 |
There are other overloaded forms of <tt>search()</tt> |
|
79 |
that support more sophisticated <em>search filters</em>. |
|
80 |
||
81 |
||
82 |

|
83 |
||

|
