Gosh no!
I was wondering if it was possible for the mozilla
browser to add observers to an ldap 'session manager'
such that it could listen to specific events like
errors and thus display generic dialogs (if of course
the client performing an ldap operation allowed for
listening to be enabled perhaps?)
Or maybe have a session manager context so that different
clients can deal with ldap errors within contexts in a
more specific manner.
I think it might be easier to extend the address book
session interface to handle the registration of error
observers. Thus ensuring scriptablity and GUI independence
of the address book implemenations.
Thanks,
Paul.
