Hi there,
Some of the stuff Im about to cover has been talked about here:

I am using OpenLdap version 2.2 and want to page through a large set of results one page at a time. OpenLdap has only recently decided to support paging with version 2.2- see an extract from their roadmap below:




OpenLDAP 2.2 (released December 2003)

Functional enhancements and improved scalability:

"LDAP Sync"-based lightweight replication

Proxy Cache Support

Hierarchical Backend

NS-SLAPI Support

Backend Layering

Access Control extensions including dynamic group support

LDAPv3 extensions:

ACID extensions

Cancel Operation

Content Synchronization Operation

DIT Content Rules

Duplicate Entry Extension

***Simple Paged Results Extension***

Proxy Authorization Extension



I am using version 2.2 and I have been able to obtain the first 'page' of 5
test results from a total set of 10- but there does not appear to be any way
to retreive the next page, or any subsequent pages after the first one.
My code is similar to the example code in the other thread above and looks like
this:

			

			PagedResultsControl prc = new PagedResultsControl(resultsPerPage);
			

			//gets the first Page of 'n' results
			

			Control[] controls = {prc};
			

			

			SearchControls search = new SearchControls();
			

			search.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
			

			

			/** My own helper method*/
			

			InitialLdapContext ctx =
			

			(InitialLdapContext)LdapDAOHelper.createAdminContext();
			

			

			ctx.setRequestControls(controls);
			

			

			/** Another helper method*/
			

			String searchBase = LdapDAOHelper.getCoreUserBase();
			

			

			/** Get the search filter from the method argument */
			

			String filter = searchBuilder.getLdapSearchFilter();
			

			

			//Run the search
			

			names = ctx.search(searchBase, filter, search);
			

			

			//get the response controls
			

			Control[] responseControls = ctx.getResponseControls();
			

			

			//examining responseControls for a PagedResultsResponseControl
			

			//to get cookie for next page
			

			for (int i = 0; i
			< responseControls.length; i++)
			

			{
			

			if (responseControls instanceof PagedResultsResponseControl)
			

			{
			

			totalResults =
			

			((PagedResultsResponseControl)responseControls).getResultSize();
			

			int temp = totalResults/resultsPerPage;
			

			totalPages = totalResults%resultsPerPage > 0 ? ++temp : temp;
			

			

			if(pageNumber
			<= totalPages)
			

			{
			

			//get the cookie
			

			prc = new PagedResultsControl(resultsPerPage,
			

			((PagedResultsResponseControl)responseControls).getCookie(),
			

			Control.CRITICAL);
			

			}
			

			}
			

			}
			

			//get next page of results
			

		

			

			Control[] responseControls = ctx.getResponseControls();
