> The API doc of Comparable.compareTo() states:
> "The implementor must ensure sgn(x.compareTo(y)) == -sgn(y.compareTo(x)) for all x and y."
> I think the Rdn.compareTo() method doesn't fulfill this contract for some special multi-valued RDNs:
> Case1: mv-RDNs with same types but different values
> RDN1: a=b+a=c
> RDN2: a=b+a=y
> Case2: mv-RDNs with complete different types
> RDN1: a=b+c=d
> RDN2: e=f+g=h
> In both cases RDN1.compareTo(RDN2) returns 1 and also RDN1.compareTo(RDN2) returns 1, but it must be something like 1 and -1.
> BTW: Why does the LDAP/X.500 spec allows such mv-RDNs? Grrrr
