Hi,

I was looking at LdapDN.normalize() which takes another LdapDN and an OID to normalizer map.  Emmanuel these OID's are he OIDs of attributeTypes correct?

Also I created a new method in AttributeTypeRegistry called getNormalizerMapping().  The registry will manage and cache the normalizers for attributeTypes by accessing the equality match matching rule of the attributeType and getting it's normalizer.  Then it will add the normalizer to the map by OID and by name.  

I implemented this method in the BootstrapAttributeTypeRegistry and the GlobalAttributeTypeRegistry and committed it in revision 411456 here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=411456

Emmanuel we were talking about how and where from we can get this normalization map.  I think this is the best place to build it and manage it.  Because we can have the map updated by the registry when new attribute types are registered.

WDYT?

Alex
