It is pretty simple to implement a paged LDAP query using standard java, by using the adding a PagedResultsControl
to the LdapContext
, without using a third party API as per Neil's answer above.
Hashtable<String, Object> env = new Hashtable<String, Object>(11);
env
.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
/* Specify host and port to use for directory service */
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
"ldap://localhost:389/ou=People,o=JNDITutorial");
try {
LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
// Activate paged results
int pageSize = 5;
byte[] cookie = null;
ctx.setRequestControls(new Control[] { new PagedResultsControl(pageSize,
Control.NONCRITICAL) });
int total;
do {
/* perform the search */
NamingEnumeration results = ctx.search("", "(objectclass=*)",
new SearchControls());
/* for each entry print out name + all attrs and values */
while (results != null && results.hasMore()) {
SearchResult entry = (SearchResult) results.next();
System.out.println(entry.getName());
}
// Examine the paged results control response
Control[] controls = ctx.getResponseControls();
if (controls != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) {
if (controls[i] instanceof PagedResultsResponseControl) {
PagedResultsResponseControl prrc = (PagedResultsResponseControl) controls[i];
total = prrc.getResultSize();
if (total != 0) {
System.out.println("***************** END-OF-PAGE "
+ "(total : " + total + ") *****************\n");
} else {
System.out.println("***************** END-OF-PAGE "
+ "(total: unknown) ***************\n");
}
cookie = prrc.getCookie();
}
}
} else {
System.out.println("No controls were sent from the server");
}
// Re-activate paged results
ctx.setRequestControls(new Control[] { new PagedResultsControl(
pageSize, cookie, Control.CRITICAL) });
} while (cookie != null);
ctx.close();
