[jira] [Commented] (DIRAPI-157) Calling the add() method with a multi-value attribute and a null value throws an NPE

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-157?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13764410#comment-13764410 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRAPI-157:
------------------------------------------

The fact that we use ellipsis in the add() method causes a pb when one add a null value with something like entry.add( "mail", null), as we iterate on the list of values (which is null).

It has to be fixed.
