25   * Super interface used as a marker for all protocol response type messages.
26   * Note that only 2 response interfaces directly extend this interfaces. They
27   * are listed below:
28   * <ul>
29   * <li> SearchResponseEntry </li>
30   * <li> SearchResponseReference </li>
31   * </ul>
32   * <br>
33   * All other responses derive from the ResultResponse interface. These responses
34   * unlike the three above have an LdapResult component. The ResultResponse
35   * interface takes this into account providing a Response with an LdapResult
36   * property.
