I don't care that much if its public static final String AT = "AT"; or public static final String ATTRIBUTE_TYPE = "AT"; (I do prefer the longer string, its much clearer for me, a beginner)
Sure. The problem is that we have many of those guys all around the server, and if you use long name, you will get constants like : public static final String STRUCTURAL_OBJECT_CLASS_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_OID = " 2.5.21.9"; when we already have : public static final String STRUCTURAL_OBJECT_CLASS_AT_OID = "2.5.21.9"; AT and OC should be clarified once, then as they are used everywhere, it should be easy to remember what they mean. but I think using constants is essential. Absolutly. And we are slowly migrating all of them in a specific subproject (shared-ldap-constants) thanks
