Re: Open issues with the Java LDAP API draft

  That would kill interoperability. A SASL layer that worked with one implementation of the LDAP API would not work with another, and a control written for one implementation would not work with another implementation.

These implementions use these in the API itself,but the application does not use them. These functions force an implementation style, but the draft should notforce any style of implementation.  The draft should define only the applicationinterfaces. These methods should be removed from the draft. -Steve ------------------------
