Operations

We won't have to implement every operations in the interceptor : some of them are not necessary, like operations which do not modify the entries. For instance, bind() operation is not implemented.

Here is the list of operations defined in the interface, and the list of operations we implement in ReferralService (the missing methods are already implemented in the intermediate abstract class) :

Add

AddContextPartition

Compare

Delete

Init 

Modify 

Modify DN

If the newSuperior is a referral object or is subordinate to a

Move

RemoveContextPartition
