270712 - last sent LDAP attribute name always displayed in AB cards

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect, P1)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

In fact, we have a precedence table in nsAbLDAPProperties.cpp, but it turns that
because of the way
MozillaLDAPPropertyRelator:createCardPropertyFromLDAPMessage() is written, that
precedence is ignored.

Turns out that the precedence table as a data structure isn't really good enough
to handle this in an efficient way.  I spent some time thinking about this this
weekend, and have come up with a somewhat modified set of data structures which
should make this fairly straightforward.  I have a partial patch in one of my
trees using this; I'll attach once it's in slightly better shape.

Yeah; it's evolving over in bug 119291.
