[ApacheDS] Contexts support
Hi all,
We have a feature listed in the 2.0 roadmap and is currently being
implemented by Emmanuel. It's the "Value and ServerEntry" item. What I want
to ask is that as we are encapsulating attribute values with a Value class
now, is it possible to support Contexts during this effort? You know there
are Language Tags in LDAP and we do not support them. I really do not like
the idea of supporting only Language Tags instead of the more general one,
Contexts. So if we'll support this feature it should be Contexts, not only
Language Tags.
Any comments on the possibility of this addition?
Thanks.

Hi,
do you mean 'options', ad defined by the RFC ? Language tags (ie
cn;lang-fr) are named options in RFC. You have two kinds of options :
standard and extended (prefixed by x-).
We can think about the impact of implementing them in term of support
in the alue classes. Let's dig the idea further ...

I don't think that there is such a draft. But Contexts seem to be mostly an
implementation matter.

Is there RFC material on Contexts for LDAP? I thought contexts were an
X.500concept that never
made it to LDAP. Essentially tags are a workaround to provide similar
capabilities. However is there
a contexts for LDAP RFC I missed?
