> Here is a strange behavior, which I am only able to demonstrate with Netscape LDAP SDK for Java (or compatible APIs like Sun or Mozilla). I create an LDAPEntry with two separate LDAPAttribute objects for two description values in the LDAPAttributeSet. 
> ...
> LDAPAttributeSet attrs = new LDAPAttributeSet();
> LDAPAttribute ocls = new LDAPAttribute("objectclass", new String[] { "top", "person" });
> attrs.add(ocls);
> attrs.add(new LDAPAttribute("sn", "Bush"));
> attrs.add(new LDAPAttribute("cn", "Kate Bush"));
>         
> String descr[] = {
>    "a British singer-songwriter with an expressive four-octave voice",
>    "one of the most influential female artists of the twentieth century" };
>         
> attrs.add(new LDAPAttribute("description", descr[0]));
> attrs.add(new LDAPAttribute("description", descr[1]));
> ...
> After creation, the outcome is an entry within ApacheDS with only one of the description values: 
> dn: cn=Kate Bush,dc=example,dc=com
> objectclass: top
> objectclass: person
> cn: Kate Bush
> sn: Bush
> description: one of the most influential female artists of the twentieth century
> I attach the complete code as a JUnit test case. The code (and the test case) works with other LDAP servers (Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 for instance) as expected (entry with two description values).
> I was not able to create a comparable problem with an add operation with JNDI. I assume that the corresponding BasicAttributes class within JNDI and its LDAP provider combines/consolidates the attributes on its own, which results in one attribute with two values.
