Chapter 12. Modeling Relationships

In Chapter 10 we developed a tree browser component for exploring directory data. The structure of the data presented in the browser mirrored the organization of the data in the directory. However, directory information may embody other relationships between entries, beyond their structural organization into a tree. In this chapter we will discuss the mechanisms for representing and interpreting these relationships, develop components for representing a reporting hierarchy, and add a property browser for directory entries to the collection of LDAP JavaBeans that we started in Chapter 10.
