Re: tools and interfaces utilizing DSML 1.0

[rweltman@netscape.com (Rob Weltman)]

  The Directory SDK for Java (available from www.mozilla.org) has a DSMLWriter class for outputting LDAP results as DSML. It is used in the command-line LDAPSearch tool:

D:\>java LDAPSearch -b "o=airius.com" -X "cn=sam*"
<dsml:dsml xmlns:dsml="http://www.dsml.org/DSML">
 <dsml:directory-entries>
  <dsml:entry dn="uid=scarter, ou=People, o=airius.com">
    <dsml:attr name="cn">
      <dsml:value>Sam Carter</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="sn">
      <dsml:value>Carter</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="givenname">
      <dsml:value>Sam</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:objectclass>top</dsml:objectclass>
    <dsml:objectclass>person</dsml:objectclass>
    <dsml:objectclass>organizationalPerson</dsml:objectclass>
    <dsml:objectclass>inetOrgPerson</dsml:objectclass>
    <dsml:attr name="ou">
      <dsml:value>Accounting</dsml:value>
      <dsml:value>People</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="l">
      <dsml:value>Sunnyvale</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="uid">
      <dsml:value>scarter</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="mail">
      <dsml:value>scarter@airius.com</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="telephonenumber">
      <dsml:value>+1 408 555 4798</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="facsimiletelephonenumber">
      <dsml:value>+1 408 555 9751</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
    <dsml:attr name="roomnumber">
      <dsml:value>4612</dsml:value>
    </dsml:attr>
  </dsml:entry>
 </dsml:directory-entries>
</dsml:dsml>


  There is also a new LDAP JNDI Service Provider from Sun that can output DSML.
