Add Support for LDAP Subentries
-------------------------------

         Key: DIREVE-183
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-183
     Project: Directory Server
        Type: New Feature
    Reporter: Enrique Rodriguez
 Assigned to: Alex Karasulu 


We need to implement the subentries RFC to get to the next level where we can 
introduce Administrative Areas for various aspects: authorization, schema, 
collective attributes, replication, etc.  Administrative Areas are defined by 
subentries.  

RFC 3672 - Subentries in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3672.html

Subtree Refinements
http://wiki.apache.org/directory/SubtreeRefinements

Alex started out by adding code to parse and represent a refinement so they can 
be handled by the server in the shared code base since this might be used by 
clients as well later to interpret subentry information.  The package location 
in SVN (not much there so don't get excited):

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/shared/ldap/trunk/common/src/java/org/apache/ldap/common/subtree/

o parser needs to be completed with these primitives
o add internal representation or data structure for quickly looking up an 
entries inclusion set within subtrees for evaluating different aspects of 
administration
o add subsystems using interceptors to handle aspects:
  - authorization
  - collective attributes
  - schema
