I want to do ldap lookup through LDAP JNDI configured as a Resource in Tomcat's 7 context.xml
Resource in context.xml is given below:
<Resource name="ldap1"
auth="Container"
singleton="false"
type="javax.naming.ldap.LdapContext"
factory="com.nitesh.common.ldap.LdapContextFactory"
java.naming.factory.initial="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
java.naming.provider.url="ldap://localhost:389"
java.naming.security.authentication="simple"
java.naming.security.credentials="credentials"
java.naming.security.principal="username"/>
I have also provided the reference in web.xml. Please refer below:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>ldap1</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.naming.ldap.LdapContext</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
I have custom factory class 'LdapContextFactory' which extends ObjectFactory. Please refer below:
public class LdapContextFactory implements ObjectFactory {
private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(LdapContextFactory.class);
@Override
public Object getObjectInstance(Object obj, Name name, Context nameCtx, Hashtable<?, ?> environment)
throws Exception {
Hashtable<Object, Object> env = new Hashtable<Object, Object>();
Reference reference = (Reference) obj;
Enumeration<RefAddr> references = reference.getAll();
while (references.hasMoreElements()) {
RefAddr address = references.nextElement();
String type = address.getType();
String content = (String) address.getContent();
switch (type) {
case Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY:
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, content);
break;
case Context.PROVIDER_URL:
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, content);
break;
case Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION:
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, content);
break;
case Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL:
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, content);
break;
case Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS:
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, content);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
LdapContext context = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
return context;
}
}
But When I run this, I get the following error.
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ldapLookup': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [ldap1] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [ldap1].
How to resolve this? Any idea what I am missing?
