Re: LDAPMessage.nextElement() in java-api-11

[miodrag@netscape.com (Miodrag Kekic)]

In out current implementation, we return only LDAPEntries and
LDAPExceptions (including also the LDAPReferralException being an
extension of LDAPException). LDAPResponse messages, are used only for
asynch operations. For synchronous ones, they are converted into
LDAPException and as such delivered to the application.

So the text should be "The returned value may be an LDAPEntry or an
LDAPException or an LDAPReferralException".
