Jndi ldap libs not found with jdk 1.6

I am trying to get some legacy code working. I am using Netbeans ide which has the JDK 1.6.

The legacy code uses the following:

import com.sun.jndi.ldap.ctl.ProxiedAuthorizationControl;
import com.sun.jndi.ldap.ctl.SortControl;

Netbeans is reporting that these classes can't be found. I submitted a previous Expert Exchange question and a response was that com.sun.jndi.ldap.* is standard starting with jdk 1.4. So, why can't these libaries be found?

if you look into the rt.jar of a jdk >=1.4.2 there aren't any packages com.sun.jndi.ldap.ctl.*.

Like object said you shouldn't use the com.sun-classes directly, because this is not a stable api. instead you should use javax.naming.*. look here ... http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/security/ldap.html

javaexperto,

I downloaded j2re1.4.1_01 and I still can't find

import com.sun.jndi.ldap.ctl.SortControl;

I did a "jar tvf rt.jar" in j2re1.4.1_01\lib.

My constraint is that I can't use the separate jndi package. Directions and constraints given to me were that these libs should work with jdk1.4.x but I'm finding this not to be the case and would appreciate help in confirming or not the case..

cdittberner,

I looked in jdk1.4.x's rt.jar and I can't locate the two classees...

I have to get the legacy code functioning even if the lib is unstable.
