Good! The draft should then be reworded then to change
4.35.5 from
The returned value may be an LDAPEntry or an LDAPReferralException
to
The returned value may be an LDAPEntry or an LDAPException

This is done through the LDAPExceptions
which are returned as result elements rather than being thrown. Example:
LDAPSearchResults res = ld.search(
base,ld.SCOPE_BASE, filter, null,false);
while ( res.hasMoreElements() ) {
Object o =
res.nextElement();
if (
o instanceof LDAPEntry ) {
LDAPEntry
findEntry = (LDAPEntry)o;
System.err.println(findEntry);
...
} else if ( o instanceof
LDAPReferralException ) {
LDAPReferralException e = (LDAPReferralException)o;
LDAPUrl refUrls[]
= e.getURLs();
...
} else if ( o instanceof
LDAPException ) {
LDAPException e =
(LDAPException)o;
// check for the
timeout
if
(e.getLDAPResultCode == e.LDAP_TIMEOUT) {
...
}
...
}

how do you communicate a timeout

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".
