Description

This is a spring-ldap companion of spring-data-ldap issue DATALDAP-23

The @Entry annotation on the entity class requires 'base' and 'objectClasses' attributes. Unfortunately there's no easy way to avoid hardcoding values of these attributes. Please support SpEL for @Entry attributes so that values can come from a standard property source.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the @Entry annotation on an entity class is read and how its base and objectClasses attributes are resolved. Check the existing Spring LDAP annotation and property-source integration points, then define completion as allowing those attributes to receive SpEL expressions whose values come from a standard property source.
