Description

Implement language tags for LDAP so pulling an attribute based on a user profile locale can result in the correct value.

RFC 3866 - Language Tags and Ranges in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3866.html

The core JNDI provider property "java.naming.language" can be used and searches can recall attributes based on a language.

Comments

W e don't support language tags nor binary tag. This should be done, but not sure we can introduce those easily...

Let's try to do it for 1.5.1, or 1.5.3, otherwise, it will be for 2.0

Far too complex for 1.5.1... I'm not even sure we can introduce this new feature in 1.5.2, but who knows ?

Complex issue ...
