A method and apparatus for ordering callbacks for server plug-ins of a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server. Each plug-in registers with the LDAP server and has a designated priority and set of dependencies. The priority and dependency data are stored in an LDAP callback configuration entry or set of entries. The LDAP server analyzes the priority and dependencies to determine the order of each plug-in or individual callback relative to one another. This allows the LDAP directory server and LDAP operations to rely on the order of callbacks thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

Directory server plug-in call ordering

Some embodiments of a method and apparatus for automatically generating test cases from error data have been presented. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a graphical user interface (GUI) to allow a user to submit a report of an error in a program. The report may be partially written in a natural language. Further, the method may include receiving the report from the user via the GUI and processing the report to generate a test case to reproduce the error.
