Obtaining ldap query's results count

Hello,

Following to my previous topic, I've got an answer that I can use
the method
$mesg->count() in order to obtain the query's result count.

I would like to know, how can I join this method in the following
code:
...
String dirStr = <certain value>
searchControls.setReturningObjFlag(false);
searchControls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
searchControls.setReturningAttributes(retAtt);
searchControls.setCountLimit(countLimit_No_Limit);

StringBuffer filter = new StringBuffer();

filter.append("(&(objectclass=<a certain object class> )");

filter.append("(");
filter.append("certain field=");
filter.append(<certain value> );
filter.append("))");

NamingEnumeration answer = context.search(dirStr, filter.toString(),
searchControls);

if (!answer.hasMore()) {
return 0l;
}

int resultsNumbert = 0;
while (answer.hasMoreElements()) {
SearchResult searchResult = (SearchResult)answer.next();
resultsNumbert++;
}
....
return resultsNumbert;

Here I count the results myself . What I would like to know, is how
to use the method :
$mesg->count() in order to get the results count

Thank you in advance for your answer

The code you posted was written in (what looks like) Java. Net::LDAP is
written in perl.

You need to ask your question on a Java list!

Cheers,
