Edmund and LDAP
markireland
I have roles in LDAP and sometimes the employee in that role no longer
works here (I check that by looking elsewhere in LDAP)
So could Edmund handle the thread that deletes that employee from that
role? (actually I need to get all employees in that role and recreate
those that still work here)

If I'm understanding you, you have some sort of trigger event - an
LDAP update - that means other processes need to run automatically,
yes?
That's the sort of thing that Edmund is good for. You register
listeners for events, when the event occurs, tell Edmund and it
handles running all the listeners for you. So, yes, it'll work for
your LDAP scenario as long as you have a way to trigger the event for
Edmund.
In general, an Edmund-powered application has lots of decoupled pieces
and lets Edmund coordinate the execution of various pieces at various
points. You might have a save operation that fires an event to say "I
saved data X" and any other part of the application interested in X
being saved will get executed, synchronously or asynchronously as
needed.
