Searching the Directory by Using a Search Filter
This example searches the directory for objects by using a
search filter.
try {
// Specify the ids of the attributes to return
String[] attrIDs = {"sn", "telephonenumber", "golfhandicap", "mail"};
SearchControls ctls = new SearchControls();
ctls.setReturningAttributes(attrIDs);
// Specify the search filter to match
// Ask for objects that have attribute "sn" == Geisel and the "mail" attribute
String filter = "(&(sn=Geisel)(mail=*))";
// Search for objects using filter
NamingEnumeration enum = ctx.search("ou=People", filter, ctls);
while (enum.hasMore()) {
SearchResult entry = (SearchResult)enum.next();
process(entry);
}
} catch (NamingException e) {
}
