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 component can be given as a regular search filter. The refinement syntax is still valid but the regular search filter is a much more powerful scheme. This new capability is beyond the RFC specification. To keep your administrative data compatible with other servers (although non supporting RFC3672 yet) you may want to use the old scheme. |
