public interface DecodeableControl
extends java.io.Serializable

This interface defines a method that may be implemented by controls that may be included in the response from a directory server. The LDAP SDK will maintain a mapping between response control OIDs and the decodeable control classes that may be used to attempt to decode them. If a control cannot be decoded using this interface and an exception is thrown, then it will be treated as a generic control.
