All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public abstract class Translation

extends Object

implements Serializable

This class contains the translation of the Unicore resource set into generic terms that may be fed into a Globus directory service. This tries to avoid thinking in terms of LDAP, though the capabilities and limitations of that system force a number of design decisions in here (such as the use of subsearches and optional retrieval of properties.)
