024/**
025 * Super interface used as a marker for all protocol response type messages.
026 * Note that only 2 response interfaces directly extend this interfaces. They
027 * are listed below:
028 * <ul>
029 * <li> SearchResponseEntry </li>
030 * <li> SearchResponseReference </li>
031 * </ul>
032 * <br>
033 * All other responses derive from the ResultResponse interface. These responses
034 * unlike the three above have an LdapResult component. The ResultResponse
035 * interface takes this into account providing a Response with an LdapResult
036 * property.
