	/**
	 * Match a Distinguished Name (DN) chain against a pattern. DNs can be
	 * matched using wildcards. A wildcard ({@code '*'} &#92;u002A) replaces all
	 * possible values. Due to the structure of the DN, the comparison is more
	 * complicated than string-based wildcard matching.
	 * <p>
	 * A wildcard can stand for zero or more DNs in a chain, a number of
	 * relative distinguished names (RDNs) within a DN, or the value of a single
	 * RDN. The DNs in the chain and the matching pattern are canonicalized
	 * before processing. This means, among other things, that spaces must be
	 * ignored, except in values.
	 * <p>
	 * The format of a wildcard match pattern is:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * matchPattern ::= dn-match ( ';' dn-match ) *
	 * dn-match     ::= ( '*' | rdn-match ) ( ',' rdn-match ) * | '-'
	 * rdn-match    ::= name '=' value-match
	 * value-match  ::= '*' | value-star
	 * value-star   ::= &lt; value, requires escaped '*' and '-' &gt;
	 * </pre>
	 * <p>
	 * The most simple case is a single wildcard; it must match any DN. A
	 * wildcard can also replace the first list of RDNs of a DN. The first RDNs
	 * are the least significant. Such lists of matched RDNs can be empty.
	 * <p>
	 * For example, a match pattern with a wildcard that matches all DNs that
	 * end with RDNs of o=ACME and c=US would look like this:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * *, o=ACME, c=US
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * This match pattern would match the following DNs:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * cn = Bugs Bunny, o = ACME, c = US
	 * ou = Carrots, cn=Daffy Duck, o=ACME, c=US
	 * street = 9C\, Avenue St. Drézéry, o=ACME, c=US
	 * dc=www, dc=acme, dc=com, o=ACME, c=US
	 * o=ACME, c=US
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * The following DNs would not match:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * street = 9C\, Avenue St. Drézéry, o=ACME, c=FR
	 * dc=www, dc=acme, dc=com, c=US
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * If a wildcard is used for a value of an RDN, the value must be exactly *.
	 * The wildcard must match any value, and no substring matching must be
	 * done. For example:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * cn=*,o=ACME,c=*
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * This match pattern with wildcard must match the following DNs:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * cn=Bugs Bunny,o=ACME,c=US
	 * cn = Daffy Duck , o = ACME , c = US
	 * cn=Road Runner, o=ACME, c=NL
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * But not:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * o=ACME, c=NL
	 * dc=acme.com, cn=Bugs Bunny, o=ACME, c=US
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * A match pattern may contain a chain of DN match patterns. The semicolon(
	 * {@code ';'} &#92;u003B) must be used to separate DN match patterns in a
	 * chain. Wildcards can also be used to match against a complete DN within a
	 * chain.
	 * <p>
	 * The following example matches a certificate signed by Tweety Inc. in the
	 * US.
	 * </p>
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * * ; ou=S &amp; V, o=Tweety Inc., c=US
	 * </pre>
	 * <p>
	 * The wildcard ('*') matches zero or one DN in the chain, however,
	 * sometimes it is necessary to match a longer chain. The minus sign (
	 * {@code '-'} &#92;u002D) represents zero or more DNs, whereas the asterisk
	 * only represents a single DN. For example, to match a DN where the Tweety
	 * Inc. is in the DN chain, use the following expression:
	 * </p>
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * - ; *, o=Tweety Inc., c=US
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * @param matchPattern The pattern against which to match the DN chain.
	 * @param dnChain The DN chain to match against the specified pattern. Each
	 *        element of the chain must be of type {@code String} and use the
	 *        format defined in <a
	 *        href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt">RFC 2253</a>.
	 * @return {@code true} If the pattern matches the DN chain; otherwise
	 *         {@code false} is returned.
	 * @throws IllegalArgumentException If the specified match pattern or DN
	 *         chain is invalid.

	/**
	 * RFC 1960-based Filter. Filter objects can be created by calling the
	 * constructor with the desired filter string. A Filter object can be called
	 * numerous times to determine if the match argument matches the filter
	 * string that was used to create the Filter object.
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * The syntax of a filter string is the string representation of LDAP search
	 * filters as defined in RFC 1960: <i>A String Representation of LDAP Search
	 * Filters</i> (available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1960.txt). It should
	 * be noted that RFC 2254: <i>A String Representation of LDAP Search
	 * Filters</i> (available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt) supersedes
	 * RFC 1960 but only adds extensible matching and is not applicable for this
	 * API.
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * The string representation of an LDAP search filter is defined by the
	 * following grammar. It uses a prefix format.
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 *   &lt;filter&gt; ::= '(' &lt;filtercomp&gt; ')'
	 *   &lt;filtercomp&gt; ::= &lt;and&gt; | &lt;or&gt; | &lt;not&gt; | &lt;item&gt;
	 *   &lt;and&gt; ::= '&amp;' &lt;filterlist&gt;
	 *   &lt;or&gt; ::= '|' &lt;filterlist&gt;
	 *   &lt;not&gt; ::= '!' &lt;filter&gt;
	 *   &lt;filterlist&gt; ::= &lt;filter&gt; | &lt;filter&gt; &lt;filterlist&gt;
	 *   &lt;item&gt; ::= &lt;simple&gt; | &lt;present&gt; | &lt;substring&gt;
	 *   &lt;simple&gt; ::= &lt;attr&gt; &lt;filtertype&gt; &lt;value&gt;
	 *   &lt;filtertype&gt; ::= &lt;equal&gt; | &lt;approx&gt; | &lt;greater&gt; | &lt;less&gt;
	 *   &lt;equal&gt; ::= '='
	 *   &lt;approx&gt; ::= '&tilde;='
	 *   &lt;greater&gt; ::= '&gt;='
	 *   &lt;less&gt; ::= '&lt;='
	 *   &lt;present&gt; ::= &lt;attr&gt; '=*'
	 *   &lt;substring&gt; ::= &lt;attr&gt; '=' &lt;initial&gt; &lt;any&gt; &lt;final&gt;
	 *   &lt;initial&gt; ::= NULL | &lt;value&gt;
	 *   &lt;any&gt; ::= '*' &lt;starval&gt;
	 *   &lt;starval&gt; ::= NULL | &lt;value&gt; '*' &lt;starval&gt;
	 *   &lt;final&gt; ::= NULL | &lt;value&gt;
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * {@code &lt;attr&gt;} is a string representing an attribute, or key, in
	 * the properties objects of the registered services. Attribute names are
	 * not case sensitive; that is cn and CN both refer to the same attribute.
	 * {@code &lt;value&gt;} is a string representing the value, or part of one,
	 * of a key in the properties objects of the registered services. If a
	 * {@code &lt;value&gt;} must contain one of the characters ' {@code *}' or
	 * '{@code (}' or '{@code )}', these characters should be escaped by
	 * preceding them with the backslash '{@code \}' character. Note that
	 * although both the {@code &lt;substring&gt;} and {@code &lt;present&gt;}
	 * productions can produce the {@code 'attr=*'} construct, this construct is
	 * used only to denote a presence filter.
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * Examples of LDAP filters are:
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 *   &quot;(cn=Babs Jensen)&quot;
	 *   &quot;(!(cn=Tim Howes))&quot;
	 *   &quot;(&amp;(&quot; + Constants.OBJECTCLASS + &quot;=Person)(|(sn=Jensen)(cn=Babs J*)))&quot;
	 *   &quot;(o=univ*of*mich*)&quot;
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * The approximate match ({@code ~=}) is implementation specific but should
	 * at least ignore case and white space differences. Optional are codes like
	 * soundex or other smart "closeness" comparisons.
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * Comparison of values is not straightforward. Strings are compared
	 * differently than numbers and it is possible for a key to have multiple
	 * values. Note that that keys in the match argument must always be strings.
	 * The comparison is defined by the object type of the key's value. The
	 * following rules apply for comparison:
	 * 
	 * <blockquote>
	 * <TABLE BORDER=0>
	 * <TR>
	 * <TD><b>Property Value Type </b></TD>
	 * <TD><b>Comparison Type</b></TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * <TR>
	 * <TD>String</TD>
	 * <TD>String comparison</TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * <TR valign=top>
	 * <TD>Integer, Long, Float, Double, Byte, Short, BigInteger, BigDecimal</TD>
	 * <TD>numerical comparison</TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * <TR>
	 * <TD>Character</TD>
	 * <TD>character comparison</TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * <TR>
	 * <TD>Boolean</TD>
	 * <TD>equality comparisons only</TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * <TR>
	 * <TD>[] (array)</TD>
	 * <TD>recursively applied to values</TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * <TR>
	 * <TD>Collection</TD>
	 * <TD>recursively applied to values</TD>
	 * </TR>
	 * </TABLE>
	 * Note: arrays of primitives are also supported. </blockquote>
	 * 
	 * A filter matches a key that has multiple values if it matches at least
	 * one of those values. For example,
	 * 
	 * <pre>
	 * Dictionary d = new Hashtable();
	 * d.put(&quot;cn&quot;, new String[] {&quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;});
	 * </pre>
	 * 
	 * d will match {@code (cn=a)} and also {@code (cn=b)}
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * A filter component that references a key having an unrecognizable data
	 * type will evaluate to {@code false} .

	 *

	 * {@code cn=ben+ou=research}" and "{@code o=ACME}" and " {@code c=us}
	 * ". The first RDN has two name value pairs: " {@code cn=ben}" and "
	 * {@code ou=research}".
	 * <p>
	 * A chain pattern makes use of wildcards ('*' or '-') to match against DNs,
	 * and wildcards ('*') to match againts DN prefixes, and value. If a DN in a
	 * match pattern chain is made up of a wildcard ("*"), that wildcard will
	 * match zero or one DNs in the chain. If a DN in a match pattern chain is
	 * made up of a wildcard ("-"), that wildcard will match zero or more DNs in

		 *        three cases:
		 *        <ol>
		 *        <li>As a DN. In this case, the DN will consist of just the "*"
		 *        or "-". When "*" is used it will match zero or one DNs. When
		 *        "-" is used it will match zero or more DNs. For example,
		 *        "cn=me,c=US;*;cn=you" will match
		 *        "cn=me,c=US";cn=you" and "cn=me,c=US;cn=her;cn=you". The
		 *        pattern "cn=me,c=US;-;cn=you" will match "cn=me,c=US";cn=you"
		 *        and "cn=me,c=US;cn=her;cn=him;cn=you".</li>
		 *        <li>As a DN prefix. In this case, the DN must start with "*,".
		 *        The wild card will match zero or more RDNs at the start of a
		 *        DN. For example, "*,cn=me,c=US;cn=you" will match
		 *        "cn=me,c=US";cn=you" and
		 *        "ou=my org unit,o=my org,cn=me,c=US;cn=you"</li>
		 *        <li>As a value. In this case the value of a name value pair in
		 *        an RDN will be a "*". The wildcard will match any value for
		 *        the given name. For example, "cn=*,c=US;cn=you" will match
		 *        "cn=me,c=US";cn=you" and "cn=her,c=US;cn=you", but it will not
		 *        match "ou=my org unit,c=US;cn=you". If the wildcard does not
		 *        occur by itself in the value, it will not be used as a
		 *        wildcard. In other words, "cn=m*,c=US;cn=you" represents the
		 *        common name of "m*" not any common name starting with "m".</li>
