public class link

extends SG8Servlet

A servlet for updating distinguished name associations in the database. This servlet enables users to find and add new entries in the database to the values of a distinguished name attribute. If the request does not name a context and object, the servlet will throw an exception. If the session does not contain an authenticated connection to the given context the path is stored in the session and the request is forwarded to the authenticate JSP. If the input does not define an identifier, a corresponding SG8Search bean is constructed and passed through the session to the search JSP. If the input defines an identifier but not an attribute, a corresponding SG8Discovery bean is constructed and passed to the pick JSP. If an attribute is specified but no search criteria or target identifiers, an SG8Change bean for the identified entry and an SG8Search bean for the attribute's target object are constructed and passed to the seek JSP, which will in turn launch a request back to the link servlet with search criteria. The search results are packed into an SG8Search bean and again passed with an SG8Change bean for the identified entry to the associate JSP, which generates an appropriate attribute update form which calls the update servlet directly to make the changes.
