A method that will not show up in the JAPI scores.
They are a legacy of the time when classpath was much less complete and the easiest way to get a Java app to compile was by providing empty methods. > Is this simply because nobody had time yet to implement the real code, Yes. > or is this a real design decision ? Of course, not. GNU Classpath is about being compatible with Java in every aspect. I think what is missing here is someone with good knowledge on the details of javax.naming. Naturally volunteers are more than welcome. :) > Also OX needs LdapName which i found in the apache directory sources, > are there any plans to add a LdapName implementation to classpath ? Is this a publc class of the java or javax namespace? If so we should provide it. cya Robert
