lucas theisen commented on DIRAPI-165:
--------------------------------------

I used AttributeFilter because the RFC says:
{quote}
     Filter ::= CHOICE {
             and                [0] SET OF Filter,
             or                 [1] SET OF Filter,
             not                [2] Filter,
             equalityMatch      [3] AttributeValueAssertion,
             substrings         [4] SubstringFilter,
             greaterOrEqual     [5] AttributeValueAssertion,
             lessOrEqual        [6] AttributeValueAssertion,
             present            [7] AttributeType,
             approxMatch        [8] AttributeValueAssertion
     }
{quote}

So I used the left hand side as a specialization of a filter type, and the 
right hand side as the filter type.  I am by no means an LDAP expert so I 
wanted to leave the name open in case a future version of the spec included a 
second type (other than {{present}}) of AttributeType filter.

> Looking for something Fluent, in the _spirit_ of Hibernate Criteria.  May not 
> seem like much, but can drastically reduce query syntax issues. Also, you 
> would likely be using a StringBuilder anyway, so its not much different.
