public class LDAPVirtualListControl
extends LDAPControl

Represents control data for returning paged results from a search. Example of usage, with JFC:


  // Call this to initialize the list box, whenever the search
  // conditions change.
  // "filter" may be "objectclass=person", for example
  void initListBox( String host, int port, String base, String filter ) {

  // Create list box if not already done
   if ( _dataList == null ) {
       _dataList = new JList();
       JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(_dataList);
       add( scrollPane );
   }

   // Create a virtual data model
   vlistModel model = new vlistModel( host, port, base, filter );
   // Keep a buffer of one page before and one after
   model.setPageSize( getScrollVisibleSize() );
   _dataList.setModel( model );
  }

// Data model to supply buffer list data class vlistModel extends AbstractListModel { vlistModel( String host, int port, String base, String filter ) { _base = base; _filter = filter; // Connect to the server try { _ldc = new LDAPConnection(); System.out.println( "Connecting to " + host + ":" + port ); _ldc.connect( host, port ); } catch ( LDAPException e ) { System.out.println( e ); _ldc = null; } } // Called by JList to get virtual list size public int getSize() { if ( !_initialized ) { _initialized = true; _pageControls = new LDAPControl[2]; // Paged results also require a sort control _pageControls[0] = new LDAPSortControl( new LDAPSortKey("cn"), true ); // Do an initial search to get the virtual list size // Keep one page before and one page after the start _beforeCount = _pageSize; _afterCount = _pageSize; // Create the initial paged results control LDAPVirtualListControl cont = new LDAPVirtualListControl( "A", _beforeCount, _afterCount ); _pageControls[1] = cont; _vlc = (LDAPVirtualListControl)_pageControls[1]; getPage( 0 ); } return _size; } // Get a page starting at first (although we may also fetch // some preceding entries) boolean getPage( int first ) { _vlc.setRange( first, _beforeCount, _afterCount ); return getPage(); } boolean getEntries() { // Specify necessary controls for vlv if ( _pageControls != null ) { try { _ldc.setOption( _ldc.SERVERCONTROLS, _pageControls ); } catch ( LDAPException e ) { System.out.println( e + ", setting vlv control" ); } } // Empty the buffer _entries.removeAllElements(); // Do a search try { String[] attrs = { "cn" }; LDAPSearchResults result = _ldc.search( _base, LDAPConnection.SCOPE_SUB, _filter, attrs, false ); while ( result.hasMoreElements() ) { LDAPEntry entry = (LDAPEntry)result.nextElement(); LDAPAttribute attr = entry.getAttribute( attrs[0] ); if ( attr != null ) { Enumeration en = attr.getStringValues(); while( en.hasMoreElements() ) { String name = (String)en.nextElement(); _entries.addElement( name ); } } } } catch ( LDAPException e ) { System.out.println( e + ", searching" ); return false; } return true; } // Fetch a buffer boolean getPage() { // Get the actual entries if ( !getEntries() ) return false; // Check if we have a control returned LDAPControl[] c = _ldc.getResponseControls(); LDAPVirtualListResponse nextCont = null; for ( int i = 0; i < c.length; i++ ) { if ( c[i] instanceof LDAPVirtualListResponse ) { nextCont = (LDAPVirtualListResponse)c[i]; break; } } if ( nextCont != null ) { _selectedIndex = nextCont.getFirstPosition() - 1; _top = Math.max( 0, _selectedIndex - _beforeCount ); // Now we know the total size of the virtual list box _size = nextCont.getContentCount(); _vlc.setListSize( _size ); } else { System.out.println( "Null response control" ); } return true; } // Called by JList to fetch data to paint a single list item public Object getElementAt(int index) { if ( (index < _top) || (index >= _top + _entries.size()) ) { getPage( index ); } int offset = index - _top; if ( (offset < 0) || (offset >= _entries.size()) ) return new String( "No entry at " + index ); else return _entries.elementAt( offset ); } // Called by application to find out the virutal selected index public int getSelectedIndex() { return _selectedIndex; } // Called by application to find out the top of the buffer public int getFirstIndex() { return _top; } public void setPageSize( int size ) { _pageSize = size; } Vector _entries = new Vector(); protected boolean _initialized = false; private int _top = 0; protected int _beforeCount; protected int _afterCount; private int _pageSize = 10; private int _selectedIndex = 0; protected LDAPControl[] _pageControls = null; protected LDAPVirtualListControl _vlc = null; protected int _size = -1; private String _base; private String _filter; private LDAPConnection _ldc; }

Constructor Detail

LDAPVirtualListControl

public LDAPVirtualListControl(java.lang.String jumpTo,
                              int beforeCount,
                              int afterCount)
Constructs a new LDAPVirtualListControl object. Use this constructor on an initial search operation, specifying the first entry to be matched, or the initial part of it.
Parameters:
jumpTo - an LDAP search expression defining the result set
beforeCount - the number of results before the top/center to return per page
afterCount - the number of results after the top/center to return per page

                              int contentCount)

Parameters:
startIndex - the index into the virtual list of an entry to return
beforeCount - the number of results before the top/center to return per page
afterCount - the number of results after the top/center to return per page
