Ersin, Emmanuel,
Thanks - I'll give that a shot.
All I really want to do is start with a context like:
cn=users, cn=example, ou=com
and then jump to a subcontext,
like:
cn=Accounts, cn=users, cn=example, ou=com
Which may or may not exist.
If it does exist, I'll get an exception when first
trying to create it. I catch the exception, and then I
try to jump to the subcontext like this inside the catch block:
Name name = ctx.createName("Accounts", "cn");
ctx = (DirContext) ctx.lookup(name);
Since ctx.lookup returns an Object instance, I'm assuming
I have to cast like that.
Anyways - I'll give it a shot.
Thanks,
- Ole

I think there is some misconception here - if I'm not wrong - : there is
no such operation like 'navigating' a DIT. It's not like a Unix
directory, you don't have such objects like dirs and files. An entry is
just an entry : it has no knowledge about any potential children
whatsoever. What you can do is to search for every elements one level
higher, and you will get all the 'children', then you can 'create a
subcontext and go for it, or just do a lookup on it, as suggested by
Ersin, with the entries DNs.
