> I wrote a custom partition to extract data from our oracle database.
> Some of the names returned from out db needs to be escaped because they have 
> special chars like: "," "/" and "="
> This is done using LdapName.escapeAttributeValue().
> Unfortunately the DnParser (in NormalizationService) is not doing the right 
> thing when processing these escaped names.
> I had to change the code in NormalizationService to still call the parser (to 
> check invalid DN syntax) but I skipped
> using the text returned by the parser because it would remove spaces after an 
> escaped ","
> Let's say I have a RDN like this:
> "ou=some test, something else"
> After I escaped it it wil be like this:
> "ou=some test\\, something else"
> The parser will remove the space after the escaped ","
> "ou=some test\\,something else"
> And that breaks the code in my custom partition because it's not finding the 
> right object.
> Here is the fix I made.
> But it's just an hack. I think the problem is in the DnParser. But I do not 
> have the source for that.
>  protected void process( NextInterceptor nextInterceptor, Delete call ) 
> throws NamingException
>     {
>         synchronized( parser )
>         {
>             // call.getName( parser.parse( call.getName().toString() ) );
>             // call it anyway to catch invalid DN syntax
>             parser.parse( call.getName().toString() );
>         }
>         super.process( nextInterceptor, call );
>     }
