Developer's blog

I needed to insert some code snippets into blogs. Searching in internet I found such interesting resources and posts:

1. http://developertips.blogspot.com/2007/08/syntaxhighlighter-on-blogger.html
   



2. Another blog record
   



3. Most correct blog record
   



4. http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/
   

In the 3rd link author forgot to add

dp.SyntaxHighlighter.BloggerMode();

So, what we really need to do is to add two records into Blogger's Layout -> Change HTML:

1. Before </head>
   

   
   <link href="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Styles/SyntaxHighlighter.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> 
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shCore.js"></script>
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shBrushCSharp.js"></script> 
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shBrushXml.js"></script>  
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shBrushCss.js"></script> 
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shBrushJScript.js"></script>  
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shBrushJava.js"></script>
   <script language="javascript" src="http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/shBrushSql.js"></script>
   

   
   



2. Before </body>
   

   
   <script language="javascript">
        dp.SyntaxHighlighter.ClipboardSwf = 'http://mortenlyhr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/SyntaxHighlighter/Scripts/clipboard.swf';   
        dp.SyntaxHighlighter.BloggerMode();
        dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('code');
   </script>
   

   
   

I don't know why but in my Firefox 3.0.4 it does realy matter to use <script> </script> instead of <script/>.

Now we can bravely insert our code into <pre> tags. Like

<pre name="code" class="Java">
 Java code
</pre>

or

<pre name="code" class="Xml">
 Xml code
</pre>

Just don't forget to replace all < in your code by &lt;

Today, I've tried to setup some embedded LDAP server for my automated integration testing. First of all, since my language is java, I need pure Java Ldap Server implementation. There are two main alternatives: Apache DS and OpenDS.
Some guys from Inter LDAP declared that Apache DS is better, but they've choosen Open LDAP because it support some not-frequently-used-feature like extended control. I had no intention to use advanced feaures, so I've choosen Apache DS because it had better documentation, set of plugins for eclipse and (the main reason) I've used it before as standalone server.

First of all, I've read some blogs from Apache DS team:

1. http://cwiki.apache.org/DIRxSRVx11/42-using-apacheds-for-unit-tests.html


2. http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.0/embedding-apacheds-as-a-web-application.html


3. http://cwiki.apache.org/DIRxSRVx11/41-embedding-apacheds-into-an-application.html

The compilation of blogs above released into folowing embeddable server code:

import java.io.File;
import java.util.HashSet;

public class ApacheLDAPServer {
  
 private LdapService ldapService;
 private DirectoryService directoryService; 
 private Partition partition;
 int port = 9389;
 
 private static ApacheLDAPServer instance;
 
 public static ApacheLDAPServer getInstance() {
  if (instance == null) {
   instance = new ApacheLDAPServer(); 
  }
  return instance;
 }
 
 private ApacheLDAPServer() {  
 }
 
 
 public void start() throws Exception {
  directoryService = new DefaultDirectoryService();
  directoryService.setAllowAnonymousAccess(true);
  directoryService.setAccessControlEnabled(false);
  //directoryService.setExitVmOnShutdown(false);
  directoryService.setShutdownHookEnabled( false );
  directoryService.getChangeLog().setEnabled(false);
  
  File workdir = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"), "apache-ds");
  workdir.delete();
  workdir.mkdirs();  
  directoryService.setWorkingDirectory(workdir);  
  
  partition = addPartition("testPartition", "c=RU");
  addIndex("objectClass", "ou", "uid");        
        
  SocketAcceptor socketAcceptor = new SocketAcceptor(null);

  ldapService = new LdapService();
  ldapService.setIpPort(port);
  ldapService.setSocketAcceptor(socketAcceptor);
  ldapService.setDirectoryService(directoryService);
         
  directoryService.startup();
  ldapService.start();
 }
 
 
 public void applyLdif(File ldifFile) throws Exception {
  new LdifFileLoader(directoryService.getAdminSession(), ldifFile, null).execute();  
 }
 
 
 
 public void stop() throws Exception {

  directoryService.shutdown();
 }
 
 
 /**

    private Partition addPartition( String partitionId, String partitionDn ) throws Exception
    {
        Partition partition = new JdbmPartition();
        partition.setId( partitionId );
        partition.setSuffix( partitionDn );
        directoryService.addPartition( partition );
        
        return partition;
    }
    
    
    /**
     * Add a new set of index on the given attributes
     *
     * @param partition The partition on which we want to add index
     * @param attrs The list of attributes to index
     */
    public void addIndex(String... attrs )
    {
        HashSet<Index<?, ServerEntry>> indexedAttributes = new HashSet<Index<?, ServerEntry>>();
        
        for ( String attribute:attrs )
        {
            indexedAttributes.add( new JdbmIndex<String,ServerEntry>( attribute ) );
        }
        
        ((JdbmPartition)partition).setIndexedAttributes( indexedAttributes );
    }

 public int getPort() {
  return port;
 }

}

Now we can use it in integration unit tests:

 @BeforeClass
 public static void oneTimeSetUp() throws Exception {

  ApacheLDAPServer.getInstance().start();
  ApacheLDAPServer.getInstance().applyLdif(
    new File("target/test-classes/ldap/ldap-init.ldif"));
  ApacheLDAPServer.getInstance().applyLdif(
    new File("target/test-classes/ldap/ldap-fill-local.ldif"));
 }

 @AfterClass
 public static void oneTimeTearDown() throws Exception {

  ApacheLDAPServer.getInstance().stop();
 }
 

Here is sample LDIF file that is needed for initialization:

objectClass: metaAttributeType

I use Maven for project management so it's pretty easy to add all needed libraries. However, blogs above maven configs are suitable only for Apache DS 1.5.5 which is not yet released (on this moment). I made my own dependency list for 1.5.4 and here it is:

  <!-- Apache DS dependencies -->
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
   <artifactId>apacheds-all</artifactId>
   <version>1.5.4</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.directory.mina</groupId>
   <artifactId>mina-core</artifactId>
   <version>0.9.4</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.directory.mina</groupId>
   <artifactId>mina-filter-ssl</artifactId>
   <version>0.9.4</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
   <artifactId>apacheds-core</artifactId>
   <version>1.5.4</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
   <version>1.5.2</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
   <version>1.5.2</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>

So, this is a simpliest configuration for embedded java ldap server. You can add additional dependencies to support Kerberos authentication, other network protocols and so on. In 1.5.5 you only need to add apacheds-all module and maven will download all other stuff through transitive dependencies.

My new blog concerns programming and especially Java language.

I'm going to publish here some advanced programming knowledges that I'll gain during my job and education. The purpose of this diary is to not forget some techniques, patterns, etc. and share my knowledges with others.

So, let's start!
