I need to write a gateway to allow patron info to be accessed via LDAP and am looking for a class library to take care of the LDAP part of it. I already have the patron info accessible via a custom SOAP interface so what I need is something that receives LDAP requests, passes them to me where I make the SOAP request, and then helps me build a valid LDAP response and sends it back to the client. So I guess I'm looking for a "container" for LDAP like Tomcat is a "container" for HTTP and Axis is a container for SOAP? I see a few libraries (like JLDAP) for building LDAP gateways the other way...that is, translating some other kind of request to LDAP and passing it to a backend LDAP server. In that case the gateway is an LDAP client, but I want to build an LDAP server (or virtual server, I don't want to build a directory). Anyone know of such a thing? Java is preferred, but Perl would work too (those are the two ways I know to build SOAP clients). Or do any of these new frameworks or app environments provide tools for talking both protocols? thanks, -Don Gourley
