Reading an Object's Attributes from the Directory
This example reads some of an object's attributes from the directory. 

 
 try {
     // Specify the ids of the attributes to return
     String[] attrIDs = 
       {"sn", "telephonenumber", "golfhandicap",
          "mail"};
     
     // Get the attributes requested
     Attributes answer =
       ctx.getAttributes("cn=Ted Geisel,
          ou=People", attrIDs);
     
     NamingEnumeration enum = answer.getAll();
     while (enum.hasMore()) {
         Attribute attr = (Attribute)enum.next();
         process(attr);
     }
 } catch (NamingException e) {
 }
