As I’m working in Java again. I’m having to reacquaint myself with various Java lanaguge features and libraries.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to use JDBC, but here’s a snippet of code to demonstrate a accessing an Oracle LDAP datasource.

// import java.sql.*;

Properties connectionProps = new Properties();
connectionProps.put("user", "YOUR_USER_NAME");
connectionProps.put("password", "YOUR_PASSWORD");

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
   "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://SOME_URL:SOME_PORT/,cn=OracleContext,dc=putridparrot,dc=com",
                    connectionProps);

Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("select id, blob from SOME_TABLE");

while(rs.next()) {
   String id = rs.getString(1);
   String blob = rs.getString(2);
   // do something with the results
}
