Re: [ApacheDS] Gettting an OID to Normalizer map for LdapDN

LdapDN.normalize( LdapDN dn, HashMap oids ) is supposed to get the dn  parameter and return its normalized form

>Also I created a new method in AttributeTypeRegistry called getNormalizerMapping().  The registry will manage and cache the normalizers for attributeTypes by accessing the equality match matching rule of the attributeType and getting it's normalizer.  Then it will add the normalizer to the map by OID and by name.

I think I tried to do the same thing with a class named OIDContainer, 
somewhere in the code. It's initialzed only once, at startup. The 
OidContainer name is not really the best one :)

As far as we can modify the schema -which is not the case right now- , 
yes, we must manage this HashMap somwhere around the schema managment. 
But if we do that, we must synchronize the HashMap.
