All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

@ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE)
public final class LDAPModify
extends LDAPCommandLineTool
implements java.io.Serializable

This class provides a simple tool that can be used to perform add, delete, modify, and modify DN operations against an LDAP directory server. The changes to apply can be read either from standard input or from an LDIF file.

Some of the APIs demonstrated by this example include:

• Argument Parsing (from the com.unboundid.util.args package)
• LDAP Command-Line Tool (from the com.unboundid.util package)
• LDIF Processing (from the com.unboundid.ldif package)

The behavior of this utility is controlled by command line arguments. Supported arguments include those allowed by the LDAPCommandLineTool class, as well as the following additional arguments:

• "-f {path}" or "--ldifFile {path}" -- specifies the path to the LDIF file containing the changes to apply. If this is not provided, then changes will be read from standard input.
• "-a" or "--defaultAdd" -- indicates that any LDIF records encountered that do not include a changetype should be treated as add change records. If this is not provided, then such records will be rejected.
• "-c" or "--continueOnError" -- indicates that processing should continue if an error occurs while processing an earlier change. If this is not provided, then the command will exit on the first error that occurs.
• "--bindControl {control}" -- specifies a control that should be included in the bind request sent by this tool before performing any update operations.

Constructor Detail

LDAPModify

public LDAPModify(java.io.OutputStream outStream,
                  java.io.OutputStream errStream)

Creates a new instance of this tool.

Parameters:

outStream - The output stream to which standard out should be written. It may be null if output should be suppressed.

errStream - The output stream to which standard error should be written. It may be null if error messages should be suppressed.

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Parse the provided command line arguments and make the appropriate set of changes.

Parameters:

args - The command line arguments provided to this program.

main

public static ResultCode main(java.lang.String[] args,
                              java.io.OutputStream outStream,
                              java.io.OutputStream errStream)

Parse the provided command line arguments and make the appropriate set of changes.

Parameters:

args - The command line arguments provided to this program.

outStream - The output stream to which standard out should be written. It may be null if output should be suppressed.

errStream - The output stream to which standard error should be written. It may be null if error messages should be suppressed.

Returns:

A result code indicating whether the processing was successful.

getToolName

public java.lang.String getToolName()

Retrieves the name for this tool.

Specified by:

getToolName in class CommandLineTool

Returns:

The name for this tool.

getToolDescription

public java.lang.String getToolDescription()

Retrieves the description for this tool.

Specified by:

getToolDescription in class CommandLineTool

Returns:

The description for this tool.

getToolVersion

public java.lang.String getToolVersion()

Retrieves the version string for this tool.

Overrides:

getToolVersion in class CommandLineTool

Returns:

The version string for this tool.

addNonLDAPArguments

public void addNonLDAPArguments(ArgumentParser parser)
                         throws ArgumentException

Adds the arguments used by this program that aren't already provided by the generic LDAPCommandLineTool framework.

Specified by:

addNonLDAPArguments in class LDAPCommandLineTool

Parameters:

parser - The argument parser to which the arguments should be added.

Throws:

ArgumentException - If a problem occurs while adding the arguments.

getBindControls

protected java.util.List<Control> getBindControls()

Retrieves a set of controls that should be included in any bind request generated by this tool.

Overrides:

getBindControls in class LDAPCommandLineTool

Returns:

A set of controls that should be included in any bind request generated by this tool. It may be null or empty if no controls should be included in the bind request.

doToolProcessing

public ResultCode doToolProcessing()

Performs the actual processing for this tool. In this case, it gets a connection to the directory server and uses it to perform the requested operations.

Specified by:

doToolProcessing in class CommandLineTool

Returns:

The result code for the processing that was performed.

getExampleUsages

public java.util.LinkedHashMap<java.lang.String[],java.lang.String> getExampleUsages()

Retrieves a set of information that may be used to generate example usage information. Each element in the returned map should consist of a map between an example set of arguments and a string that describes the behavior of the tool when invoked with that set of arguments.

Overrides:

getExampleUsages in class CommandLineTool

Returns:

A set of information that may be used to generate example usage information. It may be null or empty if no example usage information is available.
