[jira] [Commented] (DIRAPI-302) DefaultAttribute NPE

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-302?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16303747#comment-16303747 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRAPI-302:
------------------------------------------

The error you get is 'normal' (although not very explicit).

When you create an {{AtttributeType}}, it's supposed to be a valid instance, ie it should contain a {{Syntax}} instance. 

You probably want to do something like :

{code:java}
        Value address = new Value( "test@test.com" );
        Attribute mail = new DefaultAttribute( "mail", address );
{code}

or even simpler :

{code:java}
        Attribute mail = new DefaultAttribute( "mail", "test@test.com" );
{code}

> on the third line i get a NullPointerException and stepping through
