Package net.sf.ldaptemplate.support.filter Description

This package contains utility classes for dynamically building LDAP filters. Filters can be nested and wrapped around each other:

AndFilter andFilter = new AndFilter();
andFilter.and(new EqualsFilter("objectclass", "person");
andFilter.and(new EqualsFilter("cn", "Some CN");
OrFilter orFilter = new OrFilter();
orFilter.or(andFilter);
orFilter.or(new EqualsFilter("objectclass", "organizationalUnit));
System.out.println(orFilter.encode());

would result in:(|(&(objectclass=person)(cn=Some CN))(objectclass=organizationalUnit))
