Folks:
I am in the process of designing/forseeing a web services architecture that has among other datastores an LDAP Directory. Part of the requirements: that application activity be logged, ie, that there won’t be anonymous access to the Directory, nor will there be a shared id among all web services
One issue: I’d like to leverage the connection pooling capabilities of JNDI, as during peak usage periods, the delivered model of connecting, BINDING, doing the query/update, UNBINDING disconnecting adds too much overhead.
I imagine that the connection pooling has to be done as a Java Service, particularly given that the connection has to be managed on an application by application basis. (That is, the existence of a connection isn’t sufficent; it has to be a connection with the appropriate BIND).
Has anyone tackled this problem? Am I on target with my envisioned solution?
Thanks in advance!
