150879 - LDIF doesn't like DataInputStream and Base64 encoded attributes.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Directory Graveyard :: LDAP Java SDK, defect)

Description

[Bemtya Joshi]

Does like file names though ..so I will do the work around thing. 

If I create an LDIF class with a data input stream as opposed to a file name it 
does not read base 64 encoded attributes, infact throws a null pointer 
exception.  The others don't seem to cause any problems.

I do not have the driver at this time, I will attach it as soon as I can.

The Constructor doesn't initialise the Base64 decoder. The Bug can be fixed by adding the initialisation as follows:

    /**
     * Constructs an <CODE>LDIF</CODE> object to parse the
     * LDIF data read from an input stream.
     * @param dstThe input stream providing the LDIF data
     * @exception IOException An I/O error has occurred.
     */
    public LDIF(DataInputStream ds) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ds, "UTF8"));
        m_reader = new LineReader(d);
        m_source = ds.toString();
        m_decoder = new MimeBase64Decoder();
    }
