public interface Result extends Response
A Result is used to indicate the status of an operation performed by the server. A Result is comprised of several fields:
  • The result code can be retrieved using the method getResultCode(). This indicates the overall outcome of the operation. In particular, whether it succeeded which is indicated using a value of ResultCode.SUCCESS.
  • The optional diagnostic message can be retrieved using the method getDiagnosticMessage(). At the server's discretion, a diagnostic message may be included in a Result in order to supplement the result code with additional human-readable information.
  • The optional matched DN can be retrieved using the method getMatchedDN(). For certain result codes, this is used to indicate to the client the last entry used in finding the Request's target (or base) entry.
  • The optional referrals can be retrieved using the method getReferralURIs(). Referrals are present in a Result if the result code is set to ResultCode.REFERRAL, and it are absent with all other result codes.
