Clément,
Thanks for the response.
A few follow up questions.
On the <referral> element, the valid options are:
* IGNORE
* THROUGH
* THROW
* ERROR
I'm assuming "IGNORE" means don't follow the referral, "THROUGH" means
follow the referral and process the results.
Is that correct?
Yes.
What's the difference between THROW and ERROR? Does error just report
the problem in the log, while THROW actually generates an exception
that stops processing?
Good question, I don't know. This is not clear in the code.
I read the section on aliases and I understand the basics, but I'm
still unsure of what the NEVER, SEARCH, FIND or ALWAYS actually do. Is
there somewhere that explains what each action actually does? The
terms "SEARCH" and "FIND" would seem to be synonymous and I'm not sure
what "ALWAYS" means. I'm guessing "NEVER" means references aren't
followed at all.
This is well explained in JNDI doc:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/ldap/misc/aliases.html
Lastly, I already read the <defaultPolicy> documentation. Really what
I'm looking for is clarification on what the verbs mean (i.e. FORCE,
KEEP, MERGE). I just want to make sure I document them correctly. I'm
guessing "FORCE" means the destination is always overwritten with the
source. "KEEP" might me don't overwrite the destination if the value
already exists. But I'm not really sure what "MERGE" would due (unless
it means it appends the source to the existing destination value).
Note that an action will only be performed if LSC finds a difference
between the value in source and the value in destination. With FORCE,
the value from source will overwrite the value from destination. With
KEEP, the value from source will not overwrite the value of the
destination. With MERGE, values from source and destination will be
merged in destination.
