Interface EntrySet

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicEntrySet

public interface EntrySet

Represents a conceptual grouping of LDAP entries. Mapping rules are are defined on a per entry set basis, making it often most convenient to define entry sets that map directly to RDF resource types. Any LDAP search rules may be used to specified to define the entry set. By default and EntrySet is all the nodes one level below the provided DN.
