In this schema each Java object is stored in its own LDAP entry.
The javaSerializedData attribute is single-valued. If several
Java objects were stored in a single LDAP entry then an additional
mechanism would be required to resolve the ambiguity and extract
the intended object from a set of objects.

It's simpler, and more flexible, to maintain a one-to-one corresponence.
