InvalidNameException...[Invalid DN]

["Susmitha Vuyyuru" <susmitha.vuyyuru@portalwave.com>]

Hi All,
   	I installed OpenLDAP and am trying to access slapd server using JNDI.
I was able to add entries using an entries.ldif file and slapadd.

Now, I am trying to add using JNDI. following is an example pgm taken from
this mailing list.
which I have modified according to my values.

AddUser.java
----------------

/*

import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Date;

import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;

class AddUser {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Hashtable env = new Hashtable(5, 0.75f);
    /*
     * Specify the initial context implementation to use.
     * This could also be set by using the -D option to the java program.
     * For example,
     *   java -Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
     *       AddUser
     */
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");

    // host and port to use for directory service
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://localhost:389";);

    // authentication information
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "secret");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "secret");

    // entry's DN
    String entryDN = "cn=NewUser, dc=example, dc=com";

    // entry's attributes

    Attribute cn = new BasicAttribute("cn", "NewUser");
    Attribute sn = new BasicAttribute("sn", "Smith");
    Attribute mail = new BasicAttribute("mail", "newuser@foo.com");
    Attribute phone = new BasicAttribute("telephoneNumber", "+1 222 333
4444");
    Attribute uid = new BasicAttribute("uid", "nsmith");
    Attribute userPassword = new BasicAttribute("userPassword", "pwd1");

    Attribute oc = new BasicAttribute("objectClass");
    oc.add("dcObject");
    oc.add("person");
    oc.add("inetOrgPerson");

    DirContext ctx = null;

    try {
        // get a handle to an Initial DirContext
        ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);

        // build the entry
        Attributes entry = new BasicAttributes();
        entry.put(cn);
        entry.put(sn);
        entry.put(mail);
        entry.put(phone);
        entry.put(uid);
        entry.put(userPasword);
        entry.put(oc);

        // Add the entry
        ctx.createSubcontext(entryDN, entry);
        System.out.println( "AddUser: added entry " + entryDN + ".");

    } catch (NamingException e) {
        System.err.println("AddUser: error adding entry." + e);
    }
}
}

***********It gives me : javax.naming.InvalidNameException: [LDAP: error
code 34 - invalid DN]

These are the same Objectclasses that I used in my entries.ldif file and
slapadd enters the values correctly when i do:

>slapadd -l c:/entries.ldif -f c:/debug/slapd.conf -d -1

entries.ldif
-------------
dn: dc=example, dc=com
dc: example
objectClass: dcObject

dn: cn=james clark, dc=example, dc=com
objectClass:person
cn: james
sn: clark
telephoneNumber: 123-456-789
userPassword: werq
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
mail: james.clark@ajh.com
uid: jclark

and it did insert the values...

Can anyone please help me out???

thanks in advance.
