I had personally no intention of allowing an ldap access with an sql syntax.

I have no experience in the tx management (except some classic jdbc/jdo 
transaction coding, but never jta), so I may need help if this is ever 
implemented.

That's exactly what I'll do. I just wanted to take this saturday to read 
in depth the Chap9 of 1:1 J2EE Design and Development because beginning 
some real stuff, knowing that I recently faced some ldap coding at work 
which were solved with framework like approach. I want to use my little 
experience in it to build a homemade version for integrating into spring.
