Ole, David, when I woke up this morning, under my shower, I had the idea I missed yesturday evening due to the bottle of wine I drunk ... - : why don't you use the ascii value of each character to code your OID, postfixing your PEN ? Something like : 1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.X.2.org.tuscany.das.ldap.config.DASConfig.baseDN will be transformed to : 1.3.6.1.4.1.18060.0.4.X.2 (the prefix, where X is a number) .111.114.103.46. ... (111 = 'o', 114='r', 103='g', 46 = '.', etc)
you will have very long OIDs, but this is not really a problem, and thy will be unique worldwilde because the prefix is assigned to your company, and you will have to manage the suffix (it's up to you to use correct packages...) On 4/5/07, David Jencks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I would prefer to see a solution that mapped java objects to existing schemas, and perhaps has a way to generate schemas with oids, but it seems to me that autogeneration of something that is supposed to be worldwide unique and meaningful may cause more difficulties than it solves.
The worldwide OID will be enforced through the prefix (and management in the project :) For instance you'd need a way to reserve a unique PEN for each
installation on which you wanted to run this stuff.
That's very true. But if you use ADS in a company, then this company should have a PEN (at least in theory: as there are only 28389 attributed PEN as of today ...). dunno, I'm kinda a beginner. you should be kidding ;) thanks
