> NormalizationService is failing to parse escaped names

> I wrote a custom partition to extract data from our oracle database.
> Some of the names returned from out db needs to be escaped because they ha
ve special chars like: "," "/" and "="
> This is done using LdapName.escapeAttributeValue().
> Unfortunately the DnParser (in NormalizationService) is not doing the righ
t thing when processing these escaped names.
> I had to change the code in NormalizationService to still call the parser 
(to check invalid DN syntax) but I skipped
> using the text returned by the parser because it would remove spaces after
 an escaped ","
> Let's say I have a RDN like this:
> "ou=some test, something else"
> After I escaped it it wil be like this:
> "ou=some test\\, something else"
> The parser will remove the space after the escaped ","
> "ou=some test\\,something else"
> And that breaks the code in my custom partition because it's not finding t
he right object.
> Here is the fix I made.
> But it's just an hack. I think the problem is in the DnParser. But I do no
t have the source for that.

>         {
>             // call.getName( parser.parse( call.getName().toString() ) );
>             // call it anyway to catch invalid DN syntax
>             parser.parse( call.getName().toString() );
>         }
>         super.process( nextInterceptor, call );
