Ldap API project status

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

as the API definition is going on (see api@directory.apache.org), I'm 
migrating the current operation to the proposal we have on the other 
mailing list.

I can't commit what I have right now because I haven't implemented the 
search request yet. However, the Bind, Add and Delete operation have 
been fully implemented, and tested.

We have to describe the missing operation, and implementing them (which 
is not very complicated).

The search operation is most certainly the urgent one to work on.

All the logic is based on async operations, which return a Future. To 
get the response, one just has to do a xxxFuture.get(). For search, it's 
exactly the same thing, except that you ca do more than one get (in 
fact, until you get the SearchResultDone).

Internally, the search operation is always async, creates a future, and 
in the messageReceived method, we add the response to the future. Each 
Future inherit from the ResponseFuture, which encapsulate a 
BlockingLinkedQueue(). The set() ad get() method respectively put and 
pol this queue. This is how we deal with asynchronicity.

More tomorrow !
