RE: Submission of Internet Draft - Complex DirectoryLookupusingJa vabased LDAP Query Extension

The discussion so far has centered around what can or can't be done in Java
vs. extending the search filter syntax.  I'm not sure this gets to actual
problem.  If the goal is improving performance of arbitrarily complex
searches, the Java approach is only a partial solution.  The Java control
does eliminate protocol overhead, but does nothing to speed up the database
searches.  The Java code is still issuing standard Ldap searches.  To
achieve high performance on large databases, the Ldap server and database
engine need to be involved in optimizing the searches.  This could be
achieved through an extended search filter.
