@ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE)
public final class LDIFEntrySource
extends EntrySource

This class provides an EntrySource that will read entries from an LDIF file.

Example

The following example demonstrates the process that may be used for iterating through all entries in an LDIF file using the entry source API:

 LDIFEntrySource entrySource =
      new LDIFEntrySource(new LDIFReader(pathToLDIFFile));

 int entriesRead = 0;
 int errorsEncountered = 0;
 try
 {
   while (true)
   {
     try
     {
       Entry entry = entrySource.nextEntry();
       if (entry == null)
       {
         // There are no more entries to be read.
         break;
       }
       else
       {
         // Do something with the entry here.
         entriesRead++;
       }
     }
     catch (EntrySourceException e)
     {
       // Some kind of problem was encountered (e.g., a malformed entry
       // found in the LDIF file, or an I/O error when trying to read).  See
       // if we can continue reading entries.
       errorsEncountered++;
       if (! e.mayContinueReading())
       {
         break;
       }
     }
   }
 }
 finally
 {
   entrySource.close();
 }
