Re: javax.naming.PartialResultException: Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s)

Question

Without seeing your real code, it's difficult to state exactly what is wrong with it.
However it looks like there are at least two you should look at.
1. Have a good read of http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/search/search.html.
Your are using a search of the form:
search(Name name, Attributes matchingAttrs)
which doesn't allow you to specify search controls, one of which is setting the search scope. In your case because you are issuing your search at the base of your Active Directory dc=zentrale,dc=local and the group you are interested in is located at ou=j2ee,dc=zentrale,dc=local you need to perform a subtree search (searchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE)
You may want to use the following form for your search:
search(Name name, String filter, SearchControls ctls)
2. I assume that immediately after issuing your search you call uenum.next();
Your code assumes that the query will always return a result, which is an incorrect assumption. Your should actually check that some results are actually returned, with something like:
//Loop through the search results
while (uenum.hasMoreElements()) {
SearchResult sr = (SearchResult)answer.next();
good luck.

Answer 1

This may be related to the problem in yoru previous post.
If you refer to the error message, the continuation reference is being thrown when a referral is generated and you have not specified whether to follow, ignore or throw the referral.
In anycase, if it is indeed related to your previous post, the referral will be moot, as the referral is being returned because you have incorrectly specified either base distinguished name in your ldapurl or in the relative distinguished name of the user object.
