Hello,

I am building a web application that connects to a LDAP database.

I am using JSP and Beans but I don't think I am using the beans the
way I should.

For the moment, I have a single bean that does the connexion
to the database as well as the access operations (search, etc).
In all the jsp files, the scope is "session". I don't think this is a
good idea to have only one bean containning all the variables.

I would like to have a ConnectionManager bean (scope=session) that only connects
to the dataBase, a WebBean (scope=page) that does the rest.


I am correct to assume it is better or is it a better way ?

My problem is that if, inside COnnectionManager I realize the
LDAP connection:


LDAPConnection ld=new LDAPConnection();


ld.connect(ldapServer,ldapPort,bindDN,bindPassword);


etc.

How am I going to be able to access the database pointer (ld) in the other
beans? (ld.search ....)


Do I need to call all the functions with this parameter?

All advice will be welcome.

Thanks

Elisabeth
