Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-93:
------------------------------------------

Thanks Stefan, I applied the patch: 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=534230

You are totally right, the big method isn't very nice. With Eclipse/OSGi it is 
very easy to realise your suggestion. We could define an Interface and a new 
eclipse extension point for that. Then new detection code could be plugged-in 
without changing existing code. A simple interface could look like that:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
public interface DirectoryTypeDetector
{
    /**
     * Tries to detect the directory type from the given Root DSE.
     * 
     * @param rootDSE the Root DSE
     * @return the directory type or null if not detectable
     */
    public String detectDirectoryType( IRootDSE rootDSE );
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course there could be some conflicts if more than one registered detector 
returns a type. But I think we should keep it simple.

> Currently, the property page for the RootDSE does not correctly detects 
> ApacheDS. I have added a conditional for this, and for Tivoli Directory 
> Server (IBM) as well.The method createContents gets longer and longer; thus I 
> have created some detection methods. Feel free to consider the following 
> patch.
> From my point of view, a cleaner and more extensible solution would be to an 
> interface for server detection, which solely operates on the RootDSE 
> attributes. Implementations would be easier to test as well.
