hmm, quoting the original text again

<quote>

- delete( DN ) will handle the LDAP protocol, nothing more (no control,
nothing, no recursive deletion )

Plus regarding the recursive deletion :

- deleteTree( DN ) will handle the LDAP protocol, nothing more (no control,
nothing, *no* recursive deletion )

</quote>

the method deleteTree( DN ) requires recursive deletion, no? or you mean
that
we don't implement recursive deletion but we add the 'treeDelete control'
(1.2.840.113556.1.4.805) *if* the server supports this control?

have committed the code. Note that the current implementation of
deleteTree() uses
'treeDelete control' *if* the server supports and if not uses *recursive
deletition*
Let me know if the second approach is not intended in the core API.
