So with a filter you have the ability to "refine" the subtree already specified with chop, and base parameters. This "refinement" makes it so the collection is not really a contiguous subtree of entries but a possibly disconnected set of selected based on the objectClass characteristics of entries. This feature of a subtreeSpecification is very powerful. For example, I can define a subtree to cover a region of an AA yet include only inetOrgPersons within this region.

Starting with version 1.5 of ApacheDS, the specificationFilter componentcan be given as a regular search filter. The refinement syntax is still valid but the regular search filter is much more powerful. This new capability is beyond the RFC specification. |
