Hi Emmanuel,

It would then be interesting to store a kind of virtual attribute
which hold the number of descendant within each entry. If this number
is 0, then this is a leaf.
Just for info, there are already some (non-standardized) attributes for
such information.
hasSubordinates: Contains TRUE or FALSE. Defined in X.501. Implemented
by OpenLDAP and IBM Tivoli.
Oh! Very instersting Stefan! Thanks for the pointer.
numSubordinates: Contains the number of direct subordinates, 0 means
leaf. There is only an outdated internet draft
http://www.faqs.org/ftp/internet-drafts/draft-boreham-numsubordinates-01.txt
Implemented by Sun Directory and IBM Tivoli.
subordinateCount: Novell eDirectory propriety attribute, works like
numSubordinates.
The Studio browser uses this information to decide if a branch is
expandable or not.
Or should this attribute contain the number of *all* subordinates
(recursively) of an entry?
Well, we have discussed it with pam and Alex lately, and we have some
kind of ideas. But the info you pushed here are really interesting : we
can even use the same attributes to have a kind of compatibility with
existing servers.
Something new on our plate ...
Thanks again !
Emmanuel
PS : it might deserve a JIRA
