transport explanations in NamingExceptions why searches fail back to the cli
ent
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: DIRSERVER-649
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-649
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Type: Improvement

Components: ldap
Environment: all
Reporter: Ralf Hauser


Our ldap application has a custom partition and we only allow restricted sea
rches on it.

If the queries do not comply with our rules, we throw a NamingException.
I guess good candidates for this are
- CannotProceedException
- NoPermissionException
The good news is that I even can provide the exception constructor with some
 extra information
that might help the searching user to adapt the query in order to succeed su
bsequently.

Unfortunately, such exception explanation are ignored in SearchHandler.java 
and only
"failed on search operation"
is returned to the client

Please find a diff below how this might be solved.

Secondly, it would be great to be able to localize also the main error texts
. Since our
searches are only executed after a "bind" we do have the possibility to know
 the locale
preferences from our own user-data-base.

What do you think.
