Latest Skeleton Driver Code

[dj_tom_2000]

Hi,

I am in the process of writing my own DirXML/IDM driver and have got a
copy of the base Skeleton driver java code but it is from a few years ago
(maybe even DirXML 1.1a days).

Where do I get the latest files from as I have just gone to
http://developer.novell.com/documentation/samplecode/dirxml_sample/index.htm
and viewed SkeletonSubscriptionShim.java under
skeletondriver/xds/java/com/novell/nds/dirxml/driver/xds/skeleton
and it is considerably different to the version that I have. Please also
confirm which files I will require.

Many Thanks

Tom

There is more than one set Skeleton driver code, depending on whether
you are using the XDS library as a base or just implementing the base
interfaces using DOM or SAX. The base interface version will have
changed very little from DirXML 1.1a days; the XDS library version will
be completely different.

The XDS library is supposed to make implementing a driver faster and
easier, but it is rather underdocumented - it is barely mentioned in the
SDK docs - all you get a javadocs of the classes and interfaces. I
suppose once you figure it out from the examples and javadocs it may be
faster and easier, but I've never found it useful enough to bother to
learn to use it.

Thanks Shon. I have been using the XDS version and have found this to be
better.
