Here's some code that I wrote to use LDAP through the Commons Pooling mechanism... I'm still trying to figure out a good way to validate the connection using the validateObject method, so that part is likely not optimal.
There are 2 classes:
* LdapConnectionFactory, which implements
BasePoolableObjectFactory
* HRLdap uses the LdapConnectionFactory
Here is the code that then can use HRLdap:
HRLdap ldap = new HRLdap();
ldap.executeCdsIdLookup(cdsId);
String buCode = ldap.getBusinessUnitCode();
...
...
...
I've tried to strip out some stuff that is only applicable in the
environment here, but hopefully this helps.
I'd be interested in anyone else's feedback on this as well in case i'm
doing something stupid =)

Subject: Re: jndi as a data source
I thought it might be cool to use ldap as an authetication mechanism.
Yeah, I saw the tomcat jndi how-to.
I could have sworn that I saw jndi used as a datasource but I could
haave been tired on that day. I'm still a struts newbie, so I wouldn't
know how to do cool struts authetication with regular JDBC either. :)
