Hi Spark!

I assume that Spark does not mean a UI client. As far as I have 
understood it, he tries to implement a service provider for JNDI, which 
is a plugin without any UI at all. No?

Both JXplorer and Directory Studio are nice tools, but I think both use 
an existing LDAP service provider, like the one in Sun JDK.

Do we have client LDAP code within Apache Directory? Or do we only 
implement the server side of the protocol? Emmanuel?
