SearchEntryHandler support when using DirSyncClient

[Wesley King]

In a previous version of ldaptive (1.2.1) there was the capability to register a SearchEntryHandler on a SearchRequest for use with the DirSyncClient. 

In the latest version of the library only a SearchOperation allows for registering SearchEntryHandlers. 

Since the DirSyncClient only accepts a SearchRequest there is no longer support for processing binary attributes such as objectGUID with the ObjectGuidHandler.

In order to workaround this I am using a combination of:

SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest(getBaseDistinguishedName(), getSearchFilter());
searchRequest.setBinaryAttributes("objectGUID");

and 

for (LdapEntry entry : response.getEntries()) {
    objectGuidHandler.apply(entry);
   ....
}

Alternatively I could check the type and do the conversion manually:

instanceof byte[]

Is there a better approach for getting the "objectGUID" as a string using the DirSyncClient?

Sorry for the delay, it looks like google decided to filter these messages to spam.

You're correct that's a gap in the current API.

I've added a property to the DirSyncClient in the latest snapshot to set LdapEntryHandlers.

That should allow you to do DirSyncClient#setEntryHandlers(new ObjectGuidHandler());

Let me know if that doesn't fix your issue.
