[jira] Commented: (DIRSNICKERS-124) Control is a Class and an
Interface in two packages.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSNICKERS-124?page=comments#action_12365042 ]
Van Nhu commented on DIRSNICKERS-124:
-------------------------------------
It seems to me that we have two almost identical LDAP message libraries in ldap.common.codec and ldap.common.message with a lot of duplicated code.
This makes the TwixTransformer work double time just to convert a message from one format to another. And currently it converts LDAP requests from the Twix format to the "common" format and converts the LDAP responses from the "common" format to Twix format so that the ApacheDS server can decode the incoming requests and encode the responses before sending them back to the clients.
In addition, the TwixTransformer at the moment doesn't transform a "common" request to Twix request nor does it transform a Twix response to a "common" response. This makes it impossible to use the Twix codec together with MINA to implement an LDAP client or an LDAP proxy that acts like a client to an LDAP Server.
This is not a problem with the old Snickers codec, so I wonder if someone has a plan as how we can clean this up and make the Twix codec support ASN1 encoding of the requests and decoding of the responses. Thanks.
