Hi,
in the new Control interface we are now using (not the JNDI one), we
don't expose the getValue() setValue() hasValue() methods. In many
respects, those methods are useless, and we don't use them in the server.
However, from a user perspective, someone writing some code on top of
the LDAP API, connected to an unknown server, and getting back some
unknown control, will have no way to get the inner values, unless
casting the control using the ControlDecorator interface.
This is wrong. I think we must expose the three methods to the world.
