New ldap records not appearing when using jdbc

Question

I have an LDAP server setup (OpenLdap). It uses MySQL as a backend - and everything works wonderfully. When I add a new record to the table, I can see the new record in an LDAP browser immediately.

However, when I insert a record into the database using JDBC (via a hello world-ish java app), the record does not appear in my LDAP browser. I can see the record in the DB so the data is there - it just doesn't appear in the LDAP browser.

That is, until, I restart the LDAP server, then the new record (inserted via JDBC) appears OK in my LDAP browser...

Would anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

Thanks -
