----------------------------------------

             Summary: The AVA class is not handling correctly the values wrt 
the SchemaManager
                 Key: DIRAPI-253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-253
             Project: Directory Client API
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-M31
            Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
             Fix For: 1.0.0-M32


When we create an {{Ava}}, it may be schema aware (or not). In both case, we 
have to be able to return the user provided value (UPValue) and the normalized 
value (normValue). For instance, in {{cn=TEST}}, the upValue is {{TEST}} and 
the normValue is {{test}}.

Currently, we store those two things in two {{Value<?>}} fields, which is 
really wrong, because :
- if the {{Ava}} is schema aware, one single {{Value<?>}} will hold both the 
upValue and normValue, no matter what
- if the {{Ava}} is not schema aware, there is no way we can make a difference 
between the upValue and normValue.

The direct consequence, beside the fact that we are holding one more 
{{Value<?>}} than necessary in the object, is that we can't really propagate 
easily the schemaManager to the {{Value<?>}} instance, if we first create an 
{{Ava}} without schema nad inject the schema later.
