Ldap Repository can not be created using latest Spring Boot 2.0 with Spring Framework 5.0 [DATALDAP-13] about spring-data-ldap HOT 4 CLOSED

Mark Paluch commented

The code in your ticket spring-boot#7670 references org.springframework.ldap.repository.config.EnableLdapRepositories and not org.springframework.data.ldap.repository.config.EnableLdapRepositories.

Spring LDAP contains repository inside of spring-ldap-core. We decided during the Ingalls release train to move LDAP repository support from Spring LDAP into Spring Data LDAP. You stumbled upon the symptoms of one the main reasons behind the change: Spring LDAP depends on Spring Data Commons but has a different release/change cycle that can easily lead to version incompatibilities. We made a series of non-obvious changes and none of them is released yet. We recently introduced a breaking change to Spring Data Commons that breaks Spring LDAP's repository support.

Long story short:

Add the following dependency:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-data-ldap</artifactId>
</dependency>

and use org.springframework.data.ldap.repository.config.EnableLdapRepositories instead of org.springframework.ldap.repository.config.EnableLdapRepositories.

I guess I may nee to clarify a bit since I put some codes for submitting the issue on github.

Here is the code that could triggered the issue I reported at here:

@Configuration
@EnableLdapRepositories(basePackages="com.example", ldapTemplateRef = "ldapTemplate4Author")
public class ldapConfig1 {
	private String url;
	private String base;
	private String userDN;
	private String password;
	public ldapConfig1(){}
	@Autowired
	public ldapConfig1(Environment envfoo) {
		this.url = envfoo.getProperty("ldap.author.url");
		this.base = envfoo.getProperty("ldap.author.base");
		this.userDN = envfoo.getProperty("ldap.author.userdn");
		this.password = envfoo.getProperty("ldap.author.password");
	}
	
	@Bean(name = "ldapContextSource4Author")
	public LdapContextSource contextSource() {
		LdapContextSource ctx = new LdapContextSource();
		ctx.setUrl(this.url);
		ctx.setBase(this.base);
		ctx.setUserDn(this.userDN);
		ctx.setPassword(this.password);
		return ctx;
	}
	@Bean(name = "ldapTemplate4Author")
	public LdapTemplate ldapTemplate() {
		return new LdapTemplate(contextSource());
	}
}

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the quick reply! My previous comment was posted before I noticed your reply.

I apologize if that makes you confused. I am testing my code now and will let you know how it goes.

Again, thank you for the guide!

Hi Mark,

By changing the import from ldap to data.ldap, the problem is solved and I am back in business!

Also, I'd like to point out: developers who's taking the same repository approach, will also have to change import of LdapRepository to:

org.springframework.data.ldap.repository.LdapRepository

Otherwise, you might experience another weird error message complaining missing proper property on ldap entity
