Just a thought. There's got to be existing data types out there in LDAP
that map well to Java types that are part of existing published schemas.
Yeah - I was hoping to find something like like this:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/mapping.html
This has a table that maps sql types to java types. I did do quite a bit of
searching for something similar for LDAP. Right now the DAS maps everything
that is not a Boolean or Integer to the LDAP String syntax, and then restores
correct type on a read, much like an IoC container. Even though this probably
covers 90% of the use cases, from a Marketing point of view I think it sounds
much better to say that ApacheDS supports decimals and queries on decimals.
Might be something for the road map.
