Transforming UML Activity Diagrams to WebSphere Business Modeler processes

UML (Unified Modeling Language)

* An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG).
* There are twelve diagrams supported under UML. Four are structural(class, object, component and deployment), five are behavioral(use case, sequence, activity, collaboration and state chart) and three are used for model management(packages, subsystems and models)

Will explain more detail about the above topics in my coming posts.

This article shows how to automatically transform UML activity diagrams (One of the Behavioral Diagram)into WebSphere Business Modeler processes.

Working with LDAP & AD

PART 1 : (Getting a connection between AD,IplanetLDAP & openLDAP)

Now this time i am planning to share my knowledge about getting a connection between LDAP/AD to your JAVA based Web Application.

Let me tell the requirements first.. You need to have ldapjdk.jar you can download from the following location http://www.ktauber.com/downloads/ldap.html .

Code snippet for getting connection

netscape.ldap.LDAPConnection ldapconnection = new netscape.ldap.LDAPConnection();
ldapconnection.connect(3,hostname,portnumber,adminDN,password);
ldapconnection.authenticate(3,adminDN,password);

By using the above three lines you can get the connection from LDAP/AD.Where the adminDN will change from LDAP& AD. {Where DN represents Distinguished Name}

Let us see sample adminDN for the above all..

adminDN format for AD ==>"cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=balamurugans,dc=com"

adminDN format for IPlanetLDAP ==>"uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoot"

adminDN format for openLDAP ==>"cn=Bala,dc=balamurugans,dc=com"

Note default port number is "389" for all LDAP.

let us see how to fetch the data from the above LDAP's in my next post.
