Description

We need a method that is consistent with ldif files exported from Apache directory Studio, that can be loaded to extend the schema of our server.

In 1.5.3 I did ApacheDS.setLdifDirectory, then when the LDAP server started, it imported and used the ldif definitions in that directory. I have exhausted all methods I could find to load these LDIF files.

I tried ApplyLdifs, but that takes a description parameter that is part of Junit, not real good for production code, and the Description I can get out of Junit does not have the getAnnotation method on it.

I tried DSAnnotationProcessor.injectLdifFiles directly, but it could never open the file names i gave it.

I tried writing my own injectLdifFiles method, but always got an error when trying to add attributes to an objectclass that I had just added, saying that this objectClass is not yet loaded.

I tried making my own implementation of AbstractSchemaLoader, but that pukes saying that all schemas must have a valid creatorsName attribute.
