> I think I have found a bug in the AttributeTypeImpl class (package: org.apache.directory.server.core.schema, project:shared-ldap).
> The getEquality(), getSubstr() and getOrdering() methods use findEquality(AttributeType at ), findSubstr(AttributeType at ) and findOrdering(AttributeType at ) methods to get the corresponding MatchingRule  from the superior AttributeType, when there's no matching rule declared in the current AttributeType.
> These methods recursively search for the matchingRule if one exists within the attribute hierarchy with the following code.
> -----
>     private MatchingRule findEquality( AttributeType at ) throws NamingException
>     {
>         if ( at == null )
>         {
>             return null;
>         }
>         
>         if ( at.getEquality() == null )
>         {
>             return findEquality( at.getSuperior() );
>         }
>         
>         return null;
>     }
> -----
> But I'm afraid that code will never return any matching rule.
