-----------------------------------------
Component/s: (was: ldap)
ldif
> Ability to specify an import order for the LDIF files
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-1545
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1545
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ldif
> Affects Versions: 1.5.7
> Environment: Linux OS, JBOSS AS 5.1.0.GA, Apache DS
> Reporter: Ed Roberts
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.1
>
>
> We ship a number of deployment packages with our product, of which some are
> optionally installed into the JBOSS AS container. Some of those packages that
> are installed wish to plug data into the directory, so we use the LDIF file
> import mechanism on directory startup to achieve that. Some of the files have
> dependencies on others, so we have incorporated a numbering convention into
> the LDIF file naming and up until now that has worked successfully. However,
> on the Linux platform we realised it was not working. Linux is giving the
> LDIF files to the directory startup neither in creation date/time order nor
> alphabetical order and thus the dependencies within the files collapse.
> I can quickly resolve the issue by simply sorting the files prior to their
> import.
> i.e. in org.apache.directory.server.configuration.ApacheDS#loadLdifs()
> {code:java}
> // sort the ldif files
> Arrays.sort(ldifFiles, new Comparator<File>() {
> @Override
> public int compare(File o1, File o2) {
> return o1.getName().compareTo(o2.getName());
> }
> });
> // load all the ldif files and load each one that is loaded
> . . .
> {code}
> There are a number of solutions to this, and clearly it is not a problem of
> the directory server. However, given that the directory server supports an
> import directory and thus multiple LDIF files, I think it would be a useful
> enhancement to provide a mechanism to cater for dependencies within the files.
