I like this thought process.
Yes, that are my thoughts :-) I want an API that is close to the protocol. That gives an LDAP experienced developer all the power of the protocol. But I fully agree that a Java developer that just needs to do something with LDAP should not be forced to study all RFCs before s/he could start. Kind Regards, Stefan
