[Fedora-directory-users] FDS and PagedResultsControl

[Chun Tat David Chu]

Hi Graham,

JNDI.

Take a look at the JAVA API document on javax.naming.directory.DirContext.
There's a method called search which takes a SearchControls object.  Within
the SearchControls object you can set search count, timeout and search level
(onelevel, subtree, object)
