I agree. However maybe there was some reason why it was made serializable
for replication needs however this can be handled with the string
representation.

Hi again,<br>

going a bit deeper, I&#39;m wondering if the Dn class should implement the =
Cloneable and Serializable interfaces?<br>
<br>
Cloneable is probably not needed, as the Dn is immutable, and Serializable =
is also useless, as we already have a DnSerializer helper class that handle=
s the Dn serialization. Note that we have a DnFactory class in the server w=
hich expect the Dn class to be serializable, but this is probably not neede=
