  - operation
```
void operation(AbandonRequest request)
```
    Executes an abandon operation. Clients should execute abandons using OperationHandle.abandon().
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - abandon request
  - operation
```
OperationHandle<AddRequest,AddResponse> operation(AddRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for an add operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - add request
    
    Returns:
    
    operation handle
  - operation
```
OperationHandle<BindRequest,BindResponse> operation(BindRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for a bind operation. Since clients must not send requests while a bind is in progress, some methods may not be supported on the operation handle.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - bind request
    
    Returns:
    
    operation handle
  - operation
```

```
    Creates a handle for a compare operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - compare request
    
    Returns:
    
    compare operation handle
  - operation
```
OperationHandle<DeleteRequest,DeleteResponse> operation(DeleteRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for a delete operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - delete request
    
    Returns:
    
    operation handle
  - operation
```
ExtendedOperationHandle operation(ExtendedRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for an extended operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - extended request
    
    Returns:
    
    extended operation handle
  - operation
```
OperationHandle<ModifyRequest,ModifyResponse> operation(ModifyRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for a modify operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - modify request
    
    Returns:
    
    operation handle
  - operation
```
OperationHandle<ModifyDnRequest,ModifyDnResponse> operation(ModifyDnRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for a modify dn operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - modify dn request
    
    Returns:
    
    operation handle
  - operation
```
SearchOperationHandle operation(SearchRequest request)
```
    Creates a handle for a search operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - search request
    
    Returns:
    
    search operation handle
  - operation
```
BindResponse operation(SaslClientRequest request)
                throws LdapException
```
    Returns the result of a SASL request that requires use of a generic SASL client.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - SASL client request
    
    Returns:
    
    operation result
    
    Throws:
    
    LdapException - if the operation fails or another bind is in progress
  - operation
```
BindResponse operation(DefaultSaslClientRequest request)
                throws LdapException
```
    Returns the result of a SASL request that requires use of the default SASL client. This includes CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and GSS-API.

    LdapException - if the operation fails or another bind is in progress
  - getLdapURL
```
LdapURL getLdapURL()
```
    Returns the URL that was selected for this connection. The existence of this value does not indicate a current established connection.
