Remove Referral interceptor from core
-------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1205
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1205
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Task
Components: core, core-integ
Reporter: Alex Karasulu
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.5.4
The referral interceptor is responsible for raising exceptions based on a
referral handling parameters associated with a session or an individual
request. This is a remnant from the days when the core and the JNDI provider
code were tightly coupled. It no longer needs to be the case and the server's
core can handle both referrals and entries in the same way leaving it up to
higher layers to decide upon policy for dealing with referrals.
The protocol-ldap provider can send back search response entry or referral
PDU's based on the ManageDSAIT control settings. The JNDI provider wrapping
the core will determine whether an exception will be thrown or the referral
will be chased etc. Either way it's the job of higher layers to determine
which action to take.
This is why this interceptor will be stripped out of the core. Some core integ
tests will be moved out probably into the core-jndi module and other tests will
be altered.
