----------------------------------------

             Summary: Deleted an attribute leads to an error
                 Key: DIRAPI-120
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-120
             Project: Directory Client API
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
            Priority: Critical


Modifying an entry and removing an attribute creates a LDIF enry like :

dn: cn=test,ou=users,ou=system
changetype: modify
delete: userPassword
-

which is transformed to a ModifyRequest with a Modification containing the attribute and a 'null' value, which is wrong.

The AttributeUtils.toApiAttributes() method uses :

...
            for ( NamingEnumeration<?> values = jndiAttribute.getAll(); values.hasMoreElements(); )
            {
                Object value = values.nextElement();

                if ( value instanceof String )
                {
                    attribute.add( ( String ) value );
                }
                else if ( value instanceof byte[] )
                {
                    attribute.add( ( byte[] ) value );
                }
                else
                {
                    attribute.add( ( String ) null );   <-------------- Wrong !
                }
            }
