Create User in OID using Java API

Question

I read the documentation, read javadoc for Java API for OID, but still am not clear "how can I create a user in OID using Java API for OID."
It tells us how to create a java object User, but then how do we write this object to OID ?
I searched every where, metalink, forums, google...and am still looking for answere...
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

I did it using the Novell LDAP java api:
