Totally agree. One other thing we _must_ have is a connection pooling 
mechanism.

Yeah, definitively a good idea. I will add those methods to the 
connection class.

Well, I think that it's better to have the Controls added to each 
operation object, like BindRequest, SearchRequest...

For instance, you do a
BindRequest br = new BindRequest();
...
br.addControl( c1 );

Then you call the bind method :

connection.bind( br );

The addControl can use varargs, so you can do addControl( c1, c2, ...)

wdyt ?
