[jira] Commented: (DIRSERVER-1247) removing unrequired escaping in DNs / filters

--------------------------------------------

Hi Norval,

thanks for your patch, it also fixes DIRSERVER-1347 :-).

I applied it with some modifications:

In AbstractExprNode:
- changed visibility of escapeFilterValue( Object value ) from public to protected because it is only used from subclasses
- removed encoding of '=' to '\3d' in escapeFilterValue( Object value ) because it is not necessary according to RFC 4515
- removed unescapeFilterValue( Object value ) because it isn't used.

In SimpleNode:
- changed visibility of getValueEscaped() from public to protected because it is only used from subclasses
- simplified the getValueEscaped() method

In the tests I replaced some "assert" statements with "assertEquals(...)" calls.

Additionally, not included in you patch, in the NormalizingVisitor I removed the unescapeValue() method.

Thanks,
Stefan

> The current Dn and filter handling is overly restrictive in that all non-ascii characters are quoted using the \NN syntax. This is probably due to rfc 2253 being unclear about the fact that multibyte UTF-8 encoded values can be used, but this iss further clarified in rfc 4514 which superceeds 2253. The application of unrequired quoting makes debugging / reading logs much harder then it should be, as it requires manual calculations rather then just setting the file encoding on your log file / IDE windows to being UTF-8.
> I have attached a patch file with the required updates to code and unit tests under /shared/ldap (some problems i had noted with earlier AD version due to unspecified encoding when converting bytes to / from Strings had already been tidied up in AD 1.5.4).
