Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRAPI-284:
------------------------------------------
The new {{Dateutils}} version I just committed will allow you to get a Date
from what you pull from a LDAP server, but only when it's infinite.
At this point, supporting something else would require that the API supports
the {{interval}} syntax, which it is currently not supporting by the API.
The only solution for you would be to pull the textual representation of the
attribute, and to convert it to a long. We can write a specific {{DateUtils}}
method that does the job.
