At the heart of the Speculoos library lies the configuration descriptor which is simply an XML file that defines the various elements of a single instance of MapperManager can handle. This configuration file is described in greater details in the following text.
A descriptor for JNDI/LDAP module has the following structure:
var elements that describes variables or parameters that can be
used at configuration or compile time to customize the behavior of
the manager,sub-config elements that tells the configurator how
to handle specific namespaces,map elements that maps LDAP names to Java namesTODO

Mappers come in two flavors:
The base Speculoos package provide the following mappers:
UnionMapper: a mapper that invokes several mappers with the same
object and concatenates the result in a single list,FunctorMapper: applies a single other mapper to a collection of
inputs and concatenates the output into a list,JoinMapper: binary function composition mapper, joins the output of
the first (left) mapper to the input of the second (right) mapper.
