- Method Detail
  - search
```
void search(SearchExecutor se,
          NameClassPairCallbackHandler handler,
          DirContextProcessor processor)
            throws NamingException
```
    Perform a search using a particular SearchExecutor and context processor. Use this method only if especially needed - for the most cases there is an overloaded convenience method which calls this one with suitable argments. This method handles all the plumbing; getting a readonly context; looping through the NamingEnumeration and closing the context and enumeration. The actual search is delegated to the SearchExecutor and each found NameClassPair is passed to the CallbackHandler. Any encountered NamingException will be translated using LdapUtils.convertLdapException(javax.naming.NamingException).
    
    Parameters:
    se - The SearchExecutor to use for performing the actual search.
    handler - The NameClassPairCallbackHandler to which each found entry will be passed.
    processor - DirContextProcessor for custom pre- and post-processing.
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - if any error occurs. Note that a NameNotFoundException will be ignored. Instead this is interpreted as no entries being found.

  - executeReadOnly
```
<T> T executeReadOnly(ContextExecutor<T> ce)
                  throws NamingException
```
    Perform an operation (or series of operations) on a read-only context. This method handles the plumbing - getting a DirContext, translating any Exceptions and closing the context afterwards. This method is not intended for searches; use search(SearchExecutor, NameClassPairCallbackHandler) or any of the overloaded search methods for this.
    
    Parameters:
    ce - The ContextExecutor to which the actual operation on the DirContext will be delegated.
    
    Returns:
    the result from the ContextExecutor's operation.
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - if the operation resulted in a NamingException.
    See Also:
    search(SearchExecutor, NameClassPairCallbackHandler), search(Name, String, AttributesMapper), search(Name, String, ContextMapper)
  - executeReadWrite
```
<T> T executeReadWrite(ContextExecutor<T> ce)
                   throws NamingException
```
    Perform an operation (or series of operations) on a read-write context. This method handles the plumbing - getting a DirContext, translating any exceptions and closing the context afterwards. This method is intended only for very particular cases, where there is no suitable method in this interface to use.
    
    Parameters:
    ce - The ContextExecutor to which the actual operation on the DirContext will be delegated.
    
    Returns:
    the result from the ContextExecutor's operation.
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - if the operation resulted in a NamingException.

                             NamingException
```
    Modify the attributes of the entry referenced by the supplied DirContextOperations instance. The DN to update will be the DN of the DirContextOperationsinstance, and the ModificationItem array is retrieved from the DirContextOperations instance using a call to AttributeModificationsAware.getModificationItems(). NB: The supplied instance needs to have been properly initialized; this means that if it hasn't been received from a lookup operation, its DN needs to be initialized and it must have been put in update mode ( DirContextAdapter.setUpdateMode(boolean)).
    Typical use of this method would be as follows:
```
 public void update(Person person) {
        DirContextOperations ctx = ldapOperations.lookupContext(person.getDn());
 
        ctx.setAttributeValue("description", person.getDescription());
        ctx.setAttributeValue("telephoneNumber", person.getPhone());
        // More modifications here
 
        ldapOperations.modifyAttributes(ctx);
 }
 
```
    Parameters:
    ctx - the DirContextOperations instance to use in the update.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if the supplied instance is not in update mode or has not been properly initialized.
    
    NamingException - if any other error occurs.

 ctx.setAttributeValue("cn", "john doe");
 ctx.setAttributeValue("description", "some description");
 //More initialization here.
 
 ldapTemplate.bind(ctx);
 
```
    Parameters:
    ctx - the context to bind

```
void rebind(DirContextOperations ctx)
```
    Remove an entry and replace it with a new one. The attributes used to create the entry are retrieved from the ctx parameter. This method assumes that the specified context already exists - if not it will fail. The entry will be bound to the DN set on ctx.
    Example:
```
 DirContextOperations ctx = new DirContextAdapter(dn);
 ctx.setAttributeValue("cn", "john doe");
 ctx.setAttributeValue("description", "some description");
 //More initialization here.
 
 ldapTemplate.rebind(ctx);
 
```
    Parameters:

The resulting DirContext instance is then used as input to the supplied AuthenticatedLdapEntryContextCallback to perform any additional LDAP operations against the authenticated DirContext. If an exception is caught, the same exception is passed on to the given AuthenticationErrorCallback. This enables the caller to provide a callback that, for example, collects the exception for later processing.
    
    Parameters:
    base - the DN to use as the base of the search.
    filter - the search filter - must result in a unique result.
    password - the password to use for authentication.
    callback - the callback that will be called to perform operations on the DirContext authenticated with the found user.
    errorCallback - the callback that will be called if an exception is caught.
    
    Returns:
    true if the authentication was successful, false otherwise.

```
    Read a named entry from the LDAP directory. The referenced class must have object-directory mapping metadata specified using Entry and associated annotations.
    
    Type Parameters:
    T - The Java type to return
    Parameters:
    dn - The distinguished name of the entry to read from the LDAP directory.
    clazz - The Java type to return
    
    Returns:
    The entry as read from the directory
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - on error.
    Since:

  - create
```
void create(Object entry)
```
    Create the given entry in the LDAP directory. The referenced class must have object-directory mapping metadata specified using Entry and associated annotations. If the field annotated with Id is set in the object, this will be used as the distinguished name of the new entry. If no explicit DN is specified, an attempt will be made to calculate the name from fields annotated with DnAttribute. If an id can be calculated, this will be populated in the supplied object.
    
    Parameters:
    entry - The entry to be create, it must not be null or already exist in the directory.
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - on error.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the entry is null or on failure to determine the distinguished name.
    Since:
    
    2.0
  - update
```
void update(Object entry)
```
    Update the given entry in the LDAP directory. The referenced class must have object-directory mapping metadata specified using Entry and associated annotations. If the distinguished name is not explicitly specified (i.e. if the field annotated with Id is null), an attempt will be made to calculate the name from fields annotated with DnAttribute. If the Id field and the calculated DN is different, the entry will be moved (i.e., an unbind(javax.naming.Name) followed by a bind(DirContextOperations). Otherwise the current data of the entry will be read from the directory and a modifyAttributes(DirContextOperations) operation will be performed using the ModificationItems resulting from the changes of the entry compared to its current state in the directory. If the id of the entry has changed, i.e. if it wasn't specified from the beginning, or if it is calculated to have changed, the new value will be populated in the supplied object.
    
    Parameters:
    entry - The entry to update, it must already exist in the directory.
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - on error.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the entry is null or on failure to determine the distinguished name.
    Since:
    
    2.0
  - delete
```
void delete(Object entry)
```
    Delete an entry from the LDAP directory. The referenced class must have object-directory mapping metadata specified using Entry and associated annotations. If the field annotated with Id is set in the object, this will be used as the distinguished name of the new entry. If no explicit DN is specified, an attempt will be made to calculate the name from fields annotated with DnAttribute.
    
    Parameters:
    entry - The entry to delete, it must already exist in the directory.
    
    Throws:
    
    NamingException - on error.
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the entry is null or on failure to determine the distinguished name.
