Interface ExtendedRequest<R extends ExtendedResponse>

All Superinterfaces:

Message, Request, ResultResponseRequest<R>, SingleReplyRequest<R>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractExtendedRequest, ExtendedRequestImpl

public interface ExtendedRequest<R extends ExtendedResponse>
extends SingleReplyRequest<R>

Extended protocol request message used to add to more operations to the protocol. Here's what RFC 2251 says about it:

  4.12. Extended Operation
 
   An extension mechanism has been added in this version of LDAP, in
   order to allow additional operations to be defined for services not
   available elsewhere in this protocol, for instance digitally signed
   operations and results.
 
   The extended operation allows clients to make requests and receive
   responses with predefined syntaxes and semantics.  These may be
   defined in RFCs or be private to particular implementations.  Each
   request MUST have a unique OBJECT IDENTIFIER assigned to it.
 
        ExtendedRequest ::= [APPLICATION 23] SEQUENCE {
                requestName      [0] LDAPOID,
                requestValue     [1] OCTET STRING OPTIONAL }
 
   The requestName is a dotted-decimal representation of the OBJECT
   IDENTIFIER corresponding to the request. The requestValue is
   information in a form defined by that request, encapsulated inside an
   OCTET STRING.
