What replaced mergeResults="true"?

[Klingenstein, Nate]

Thanks for turning your expert eye to the code.  I'll experiment and see what happens, I guess.  FWIW, the links to the Javadocs linked to from:

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/LDAPConnector

turn up a bunch of 404's:

http://vt-middleware.googlecode.com/svn/ldaptive/javadoc/bundle-1.0.5/org/ldaptive/SearchResult.html

It looks like they should be e.g.:

http://www.ldaptive.org/javadocs/org/ldaptive/SearchResult.html

It looks like there's an explicit mergeEntries method, so I'll wait for confirmation or silence from Marvin and others first, but I'm glad to go through and fix those references if it'd help.

I couldn't say, but it's not wired to anything. That is, it doesn't cause the code to turn on any particular setting now, it's just stubbed out in the configuration parser.

Well, multipleResultsAnError defaults to false in the code, so I would assume that it does something sane with multiple results to merge them.

I assume merge.
