Hi all, I have some Java code that is attempting to read the schema of returned LDAP attributes from a 389ds server in an effort to work out what object to parse the attribute as. This is being done generically, I don’t know the data types I will be getting in the search result. String numericoid = at.getAttributeSyntaxDefinition() .getAttributes("").get("numericoid").get() .toString(); The above code is throwing a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException inside the getAttributeSyntaxDefinition() call: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.dir.HierMemDirCtx.doLookup(HierMemDirCtx.java:127) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.dir.HierMemDirCtx.doLookup(HierMemDirCtx.java:121) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.dir.HierMemDirCtx.lookup(HierMemDirCtx.java:95) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.dir.HierMemDirCtx.lookup(HierMemDirCtx.java:91) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapAttribute.getAttributeSyntaxDefinition(LdapAttribute.java:199) The suspicious bit is the {256} at the end, which as I understand is a length limitation (?), and I suspect this extra bit is causing the syntax lookup to fail. 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 is DirectoryString, and I would definitely expect that to be valid syntax. Am I doing this correctly, or does 389DS and JDK8 not see eye to eye on the getAttributeSyntaxDefinition() call? Can anyone confirm whether I am making any obvious mistakes?
