Spring LDAP is a Java library for simplifying LDAP operations, based on the
pattern of Spring's JdbcTemplate. The framework relieves the user of common
chores, such as looking up and closing contexts, looping through results,
encoding/decoding values and filters, and more.
The LdapTemplate class encapsulates all the plumbing work involved in
traditional LDAP programming, such as creating a DirContext, looping through
NamingEnumerations, handling exceptions and cleaning up resources. This leaves
the programmer to handle the important stuff - where to find data (DNs and Filters)
and what do do with it (map to and from domain objects, bind, modify, unbind, etc.),
in the same way that JdbcTemplate relieves the programmer of all but the actual SQL
and how the data maps to the domain model.
In addition to this, Spring LDAP provides transaction support, a pooling library,
an Object-Directory Mapping (ODM) framework, an LDIF parsing library with Spring
Batch integration, exception translation from NamingExceptions to a mirrored unchecked
Exception hierarchy, as well as several utilities for working with filters, LDAP paths
and Attributes.
Spring LDAP requires J2SE 1.4 or higher to run, and works with Spring Framework 2.0.x,
2.5.x as well as 3.0.x.
