Things to consider
- I'm especially not sure about how to handle Abandon and Extended operations in the core.
- Some extended operations do not hit the core.
- The $version parameter for bind operation may not hit the core; I do not know.
- The $authentication parameter for bind operation will probably associated with a java.util.Map.
- The $ava parameter for compare operation can be associated with a java.util.Map whose keys are "AttributeDescription" and "AttributeValue" where the value types are java.lang.String and java.lang.Object respectively. However the proposed type association (javax.naming.directory.Attribute) is simpler and more type safe.
- What about the return types for INSTEADOF Triggers? INSTEADOF Triggers need some clearification for operations which return data results.
