Announcing JRuby/LDAP

I have just released JRuby/LDAP, a new project within JRuby-extras, that aim to be interface compatible with Ruby/LDAP. That is, if you have a Ruby project written for Ruby/LDAP, you should be able to run it on JRuby without any changes.

This is a first release and some of the more obscure functionalities haven't been added yet.

Installation is easy:
jruby -S gem install jruby-ldap
If you're interested in the source, it's available on RubyForge, within the JRuby-extras project.

JRuby/LDAP uses JNDI to achieve nice LDAP access. You can also use standard Java ways (i.e. jndi.properties) to change the LDAP access implementation.

The code is BSD licensed.

Hi,
We're using ruby-net-ldap within our project and it seems to work within a jruby environment (packed in a war, deployed on tomcat)

I didn't managed to get it working through JNDI, so thats an improvement. What else is a diffence in jruby/ldap and net/ldap? (In other words, why should I switch)

Stefan,

Ruby-net-ldap is pure Ruby so I'm guessing it would work fine in JRuby with no mods. ruby-ldap uses a C extension so the C stuff would have to be ported to Java, as Ola did.

Maybe ldap is faster than ruby-net-ldap? I'm also using ruby-net-ldap though;.
