Description

Currently to check if an entry is a referral the below cast is done.

Attribute ref = ( ( ClonedServerEntry ) entry ).getOriginalEntry().get( SchemaConstants.REF_AT );

But this casting fails when SortControl is used cause SortedEntryCursor returns DefaultEntry objects (they contain the attributes of a filtered ClonedEntry).

OTOH, this casting is not needed to check the referral nature of an entry.
