This is a question regarding the list of operations in the interface
Interceptor (org.apache.ldap.server.interceptor).
I was wondering why it does not contain all LDAP operations (namely
extended and compare are missing). E.g. if I would like to implement
audit logs (e.g. for performance analysis), a natural idea would be to
create an AuditInterceptor. But I can't create audit logs on an LDAP
operation basis that way. I also noticed that these operations are not
included in the ContextPartition interface as well (here extended ops
make perhaps not that much sense ...).
How is it planned to implement Controls or a custom extended operation?
An interceptor would be an option, but it is probably difficult to
implement rules like "this request control may be sent along with ops
x,y and z", if the original ops do not map to the life cycle of the
interceptor.
Or is it intended to plug a controls component near the handlers of the
LDAP operations (e.g. CompareHandler in org.apache.ldap.server.protocol).
I am just curious ... Thanks in advance,
Stefan
