Search Execution
Once the LdapSearch instance is created and properly defined, the search is conducted when the LdapSearch instance receives the run message. Since the search may fail, it is a good idea to check the result by with the following Smalltalk expression:
ldapResult := ldapSearch run.
ldapResult isLdapError ifTrue: ["do something here"].
A successful search returns a single instance of LdapSearch.
For a paged search,
Code will have to be structured a bit differently, to do the equivalent of non-paged search. For example,
ldapSearch run.
self processEntries: ldapSearch getAllAttributesAndValuesForAllEntries.
in a paged manner, you write:
ldapSearch pageSize: 1000.
[ldapSearch hasAdditionalResults] whileTrue:
[ldapSearch run.
self processEntries:
ldapSearch getAllAttributesAndValuesForAllEntries].
compared to a non-paged search
ldapSearch run.
self processEntries:
ldapSearch getAllAttributesAndValuesForAllEntries.
