Class AbstractContextFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.directory.server.core.jndi.AbstractContextFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory, DirectoryServiceListener

Direct Known Subclasses:

CoreContextFactory

public abstract class AbstractContextFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory, DirectoryServiceListener

A server-side JNDI provider implementation of InitialContextFactory. This class can be utilized via JNDI API in the standard fashion:

Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put( Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ou=system" ); env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.directory.server.core.jndi.CoreContextFactory" ); InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext( env );

Unfortunately, InitialContext creates a new instance of InitialContextFactory implementation everytime it is instantiated, so this factory maintains only a static, singleton instance of DirectoryService, which provides actual implementation. Please note that you'll also have to maintain any stateful information as using singleton pattern if you're going to extend this factory.

This class implements DirectoryServiceListener. This means that you can listen to the changes occurs to DirectoryService, and react to it (e.g. executing additional business logic).
