Java question (calling methods with parameters) using UnboundID LDAP SDK api

I'm using UnboundID LDAP SDK for my LDAP server.
I made a method for connecting.

public static LDAPConnection connectSDK(String ip, Integer port, String id, String pw) throws LDAPException    {



    LDAPConnection ldap = new LDAPConnection(ip,port,id,pw);

    System.out.println("success");  

    return ldap;



}

In my main method, I call this methods with parameters, and it works fine.

public static void main(String args) throws LDAPException {



    connectSDK("192.168.0.60",389,"******","*****");



}

I wanted to go further. I made a method to search data using a filter.

public static void searchSDK(String filter) throws LDAPException {



    LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK(); 



/* Before calling a method with parameter, I used to connect with this,

 and use 'ldap' variable to put search results. 

Now, I am using a method with parameters. 

I don't know what to do with 'ldap' variable. 

If I delete it, 'SearchRequest' doesn't run.  

Also how can I continue to use the connection from connectSDK method? */



    SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("c=kr",SearchScope.SUB,filter);

    SearchResult searchResult = ldap.search(searchRequest);

    System.out.println(searchResult);



}

Ultimately, I want to call two of these methods in my main like below.

public static void main(String args) throws LDAPException {

    //connect

    connectSDK("192.168.0.60",389,"*****","******");

    //search using a filter 

    searchSDK("hotdog");

}

I want advice in my searchSDK() methods.

*1) how to use the session connectSDK method created

*2) how to handle 'ldap' variable.

*3) ldap.close() I want to close a session after, but this method wouldn't work. Is there any other way?

Put the ldap.close into a finally block or use try-with-resources if LDAPConnection has the AutoCloseable interface

There is no such method in your code LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK(); As connectSDK(String ip, Integer port, String id, String pw) returns a LDAPConnection then pass this as a parameter into searchSDK and remove connectSDK() from it.

Modify the code as

public static void searchSDK(String filter, LDAPConnection ldap) throws LDAPException {



    // LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK(); 

....

}

So your main would look like

LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK("192.168.0.60",389,"*****","******");

//search using a filter 

searchSDK("hotdog", ldap);
