The new release, called version 1.1.1, adheres to the Spring Framework 2.0 internally. Spring LDAP complements Spring by making it easy to write applications that integrate with LDAP servers. Other features in Spring LDAP version 1.1.1 include: * An added capability to use server-side controls in search. * Added lookup methods that can take an array of return attribute names. * The DirContexAdapter.getnameInNameSpace() programming interface now returns a full DN (Distinguished Name), which is used to identify a directory entry. * The DistinguishedName programming feature now supports multi-valued RDN’s (Relative Distinguished Name) separated by a + sign, like “cn=Rod+sn=Johnson,” for example.An LdapTemplate class encapsulates plumbing work involved in traditional LDAP programming. Programmers can tend to more important issues such as where to find data. Spring LDAP can be found here. Technology Industry
