| <subsection name="Filter"> |
| <p> |
| The filter package will parsese and LDAP expression into |

| <subsection name="LDIF"> |
| <p> |
| The The LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) parsing |
| package Parses an LDIF into a multimap or a JNDI |
| Attributes instance of attributeToPropertyMapping key/value pairs with |
| potential more than one attributeToPropertyMapping value per attributeToPropertyMapping. |
| This parser populates the MultiMap or Attributes |
| instance with all attributeToPropertyMappings within the LDIF including |
| control attributeToPropertyMappings like the 'dn' and the changeType. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The package contain an LDIF entry class that can be used. Along |
| with the parsing utility, the embedding application can LDIF |
| parsing and management without becomming an expert on the RFC. |

| <subsection name="Name"> |
| <p> |
| This package provides LDAP distinguished name creation and |
| normalization. This provides a common method for ensuring |
| you are creating the entry DN correctly. Failure to properly |
| create and normalize the DN of an entry will result in unpredicatble |
| results when operations are performed on the entry. |
