LDAP PagedResultsResponseControl

I'm guessing there's a logic reason for it, but I find it extremely annoying that the PagedResultsResponseControl is not available until the after the results have been walked through. This forces me to handle the list in some way at the point I'm making the LDAP request (when I wouldn't think the system would be aware of the object being worked on just that it's got a query) or have some way of going back for it (which makes the rest of the system have to be aware that it's working with LDAP and paging).

Spring has a solution for this I should look at more to see if I'm missing something.
