SearchServlet is a servlet which queries an LDAP and returns the result as LDIF or DSML. The following init params can be set for this servlet: edu.vt.middleware.ldap.servlets.propertiesFile - to load ldap properties from edu.vt.middleware.ldap.servlets.outputFormat - type of output to produce, 'ldif' or 'dsml' Example: http://www.server.com/Search?query=uid=dfisher If you need to pass complex queries, such as (&(cn=daniel*)(surname=fisher)), then the query must be form encoded. If you only want to receive a subset of attributes those can be specified. Example: http://www.server.com/Search?query=uid=dfisher&attrs=givenname&attrs=surname

LDIF

The content returned by the servlet is of type text/plain.

DSML

The content returned by the servlet is of type text/xml, if you want to receive the content as text/plain that can be specified as well. Example: http://www.server.com/Search?query=uid=dfisher&content-type=text By default DSML version 1 is returned, if you want to receive DSML version 2 then you must pass in the dsml-version parameter. Example: http://www.server.com/Search?query=uid=dfisher&dsml-version=2
