Hi y'all,

I need to access LDAP from Java. Does J2SE offer any APIs for that? What are some resources to learn this?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any package in J2SE that can retreive/update or insert elements in LDAP. Still there are some open source packages that you can use.
For example :

1. http://www.openldap.org/jdbcldap/
2. http://www.openldap.org/jldap/
3. http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6402-10/api.htm#2835023

Where 1 is maybe the most interesting reference. It is not a standard LDAP API, but is actually a JDBC-LDAP bridge driver. So when you are not really used to programming for an LDAP server, you can use your JDBC knowledge to do the same.

Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI) provides naming and directory functionality (a service provider for LDAP is included since Java 1.4.2).

See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jndi/index.html

See package javax.naming in API specification.
