LDAP Programming with Java(TM)

By Rob Weltman and Tony Dahbura

Book Overview

In this book, the creators of the Directory SDK for Java show how it can be used to build powerful, standards-based directory applications that leverage LDAP directory information on intranets, the Internet, even in E-commerce applications. Start by reviewing what Directories are, what directory-enabled applications can accomplish, and the key elements of the LDAP directory standard. Next, establish a directory application development environment; learn how the Directory SDK for Java can be used to build LDAP-enabled applications; and walk through retrieving, creating, maintaining, and securing directory information. Along the way, developers will learn how to build LDAP-aware applets; script LDAP with JavaScript and Java; use LDAP on a Web server; create reusable LDAP JavaBeans; optimize the performance of their LDAP-enabled applications; and much more. For all intermediate to advanced Java and network programmers, system, network, and messaging administrators. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Good Example for LDAP and Java

I think that this book is fairly good and helpful for LDAP and Java. It gives easy description.Especially, this help me to develope other application using the source code of this book. However, one short point is to be limited to Netscape Server Suite. I would like to say thanks to authors.Regards,Incheon Paik

Proprietary, but portable

This book is a truly excellent book, and the only poor reviews center around it's lack of JNDI coverage, which I find unfortunate. Nowhere does the book infer that it is going to cover jndi, this is the assumption of a buyer who equates the word "java" in the title with jndi. Most people who use jndi (myself included) do so to access an ldap server, so to learn jndi is a bit of an overkill. What most people don't know is that...

Well written Book on LDAP with JAVA.

This book is ahead of the pack in available LDAP books. This book concentrate mostly on Netscape Directory Server but you can apply this to any LDAP comaptible Servers (NDS from Novell, Inc.). This book is worth every penny and you will appreciate the purchase.

Full of examples

If you're like me and learn best by example, this book is perfect. From secure applets to an extensive phone book servlet - from LDAP in JavaScript to LDAP Java Beans; this book contains a seemingly inexhaustable collection of sample code that not only teaches you how to use the SDK, but stimulates your creative juices while doing so.

What a great LDAP and Java book.

I was looking for a book to help me with my website's authentication project and its use of LDAP and this book helped me more than the rest. It gave me great code examples, great insights on directory design and an excellent understanding of how to get my job done. I was at first a little concerned about the lack of coverage on JNDI, but then I realized it's not important to most LDAP/Java projects and it's also widely covered...
