[jira] [Commented] (DIRSERVER-2133) Add the hasSubordinates operational attribute to entries

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2133?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16865007#comment-16865007 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-2133:
----------------------------------------------

This is not absolutely trivial, even if it should be. Every time we fetch an Entry, we have to rebuild its {{DN}}, which requires we rebuild it based on the {{RdnIndex}}. Each {{Rdn}} we pull from this index will contain the information we need to add the {{HasSubordinates}} attribute to the entry (ie, we know if the {{RDN}} has descendant, and their number).
Sadly, this information is lost because we just get back the built {{DN}}. Ideally speaking, we should also return the information when the function that builds the {{DN}} is called (aka {{buildEntryDn}}) and use it.

Will try to have it implemented.

> There is a {{hasSubordinates}} attributeType that tells if the entry has some children or not. We should add it to every returned entry
