We are using a FSM to decode the LDAP messages, but this is an
orthogonal concern here.
The problem we had with MINA is that we would have prefered to have two
decoder filters : one for the TLVs and another one for the LDAP
messages. It was not possible when we first created this decoder. Also
we have to use a demux at the end, and it's a PITA. Would we be able to
use a FSM to implment the LDAP protocol as a whole, we would be more
than happy.
Two totally different things. I think we should think about this for a bit
but I will quickly state that I think the way to handle this is to have
something not unlike an SSL engine inside a filter;
SSL as a filter was a big mistake, IMHO.
