Modify the semantic of LdapDN.toString() method
-----------------------------------------------

Key: DIRSERVER-808
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-808
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ldap
Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
Assigned To: Emmanuel Lecharny
Fix For: 1.5.0


The semantic of LdapDN.toString() method is really bad : it returns a normal
ized form of the DN. By no means this should have been the case, so I sugges
t to switch it back to what it should have been from the beginning :

toString() returns the user provided DN
getUpName() return the user provided DN ( for completness)
getNormName() returns the normalized form of the DN

Of course, many test cases will be impacted, but this is not something that 
can't be fixed in less that a few hours.
