Re: [EOModeler] problem : can't use the JNDIAdaptor to modelize an LDAP connection with EOModeler

Thanks,
both of you help me...

The Chuck advice permit me to access to the "next" panel in the "New 
Model wizard". I have now the "JNDI Connection" panel, and i can 
configure my LDAP server URL, user and password to use. The plugin is by 
default com.webobjects.jndiadaptor.LDAPPlugIn and the context factory is 
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory

But now when i confirm this configuration panel, i get the following 
error message:
"Cannot create InitialDirContext: 
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: 
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory [Root exception is 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory] "

It seems to be a classpath problem, or the EOModeler don't search the 
class in the rigth directory because the 
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory class is in the rigth place now..... ????

I will try again to do it work with EOModeler, and if i can't manage i 
will take the Jonathan advice by "figure out my proper connection 
dictionary and schema, without  EOModeler's reverse engineering 
features".  whish me good luck!! :D

If you have some extra-idea, feel free to comunicate me, i'll be pleased! ;)

Thanks again,
PYM
