Abstract
A method and apparatus for dynamically storing objects of an object-oriented programming application in a LDAP repository so that useful information from the objects may be read by other applications are disclosed. Embodiments of the method preferably comprise dynamically determining persistent attributes, which are a subset of each object's attributes, for each object being stored and mapping the persistent attributes to LDAP attributes in the LDAP repository. Embodiments of the invention preferably comprise a persistent data manager that is a component of the object-oriented programming application and that acts as an interface to the LDAP repository, storing objects in the LDAP repository when requested. The objects may be Java objects.
