With Java this stuff shouldn't be proprietary at all!
Too bad that such talented authors have decided to write this book based on Netscape SDK and not on JNDI like they should have. The book really gives a wrong impression on how to code with Java & LDAP and causes major vendor-lock. Maybe all this was was the plan in the first place when this book was written, since both of the authors are from Netscape, Weltman being a designer of the Netscape LDAP SDK and Dahlbura a lead engineer specializing in LDAP implementation and planning.

Where's the JNDI?
Well written book, but based on the author's proprietary API and not JNDI which is the modern approach, thus it's rather dated, hence the discount to 3 stars. The URL and other data still applies, but for actual Java code examples I liked Wilcox "Implementing LDAP" even though it isn't Java-centric. I look forward to the O'Reilly LDAP book to see what it's like.

Good Example for LDAP and Java
I think that this book is fairly good and helpful for LDAP and Java. It gives easy description.
Especially, this help me to develope other application using the source code of this book. However, one short point is to be limited to Netscape Server Suite. I would like to say thanks to authors.
