/**
 * Allows hard coded parts to be included in a search filter. Particularly useful
 * if some filters are specified in configuration files and these should be
 * combined with other ones.
 * 
 *  * Filter filter = new HardcodedFilter("(&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer)))");
 * System.out.println(filter.toString());
 * 
 * 
 * would result in:
 * (&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer)))
 * 
 * Note 1: If the definition is in XML you will need to properly encode any special characters so that they are valid in an XML file,
 * e.g. "&" needs to be encoded as "&amp;", e.g.
 * 
 * <bean class="MyClass">
 *   <property name="filter" value="(&amp;(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer)))" />
 * </bean>
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Note 2: There will be no validation to ensure that the supplied filter is
 * valid. Using this implementation to build filters from user input is strongly
 * discouraged.
