JDBC-LDAP Bridge. Pb when getting a binary attribute

[Théodore Villette <tvillette@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

 

i got a problem when i try to get a binary Object using th e JDBC-LDAP Bridge.

 

It seems that the object is always cast as a String.

 

i try:

 

Class.forName("com.octetstring.jdbcLdap.sql.JdbcLdapDriver");

 

String ldapConnectString ="jdbc:ldap://ldapserver:389/dc=mydomain,dc=com?SEARCH_SCOPE:=subTreeScope";

java.sql.Connection con;

 

  
con =DriverManager.getConnection(ldapConnectString,"","");
  
try {
   Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
   ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT jpegPhoto FROM ou=People where cn="theodore");
   

   while (rs.next()) {
       boolean bool = rs.getObject("jpegPhoto") instanceof String;

          if (bool)

            System.out.println("jpegPhoto is a String");

        else

            System.out.println("jpegPhoto is not a String");

        byte [] photo = (byte []) (rs.getObject("jpegPhoto"));

    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

 

The result is always:

jpegPhoto is a String

 

and then i got a ClassCastException

 

 

Is a jpegPhoto (Type: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.60) really a byte[] or is it a problem whith the bridge?

 

Thanks for your help,

Theodore
