Modify attribute fails with exception 
javax.naming.Directory.InvalidAttributeIdentifierException
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DIRLDAP-84
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRLDAP-84
     Project: Directory LDAP
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 0.9.3    
 Environment: Windows XP ,  JNDI(Java 1.5.06)  and also JXplorer LDAP browser
    Reporter: Somashish Gupta


 I recently upgraded Directory server from version 0.9 to 0.9.3.  After the 
upgradation the JNDI call 
javax.naming.directory.DirContext.modifyAttributes(String name, 
ModificationItems[] mods)has stopped working(This call was working without any 
issue in 0.9). It has started failing with InvalidAttributeIdentifierException. 
The structure of my application data present in the LDAP server is identical in 
0.9.3 to what it was in 0.9, so I am sure the call is able to resolve the name. 
I have also checked the contents of mods. The attributes are also present. The 
only difference that I have noticed is the properties file in the 2 cases. In 
0.9.3 it is an xml file instead of a properties file. I am using the sample 
server.xml file that comes with the 0.9.3 source distribution. (In case of 0.9 
I was using the sample server.properties file coming with the distribution). 
Also I use JXplorer as LDAP browser. There also I am noticing the identical 
behavior. Modification of any attribute was working in case of 0.9. But now 
with 0.9.3, I am not able to update any attribute through the browser.

After more testing the following is what I found.

While developing my application using 0.9, I created objects in the LDAP like 

Attributes orgAttrs = new BasicAttributes(true); 
orgAttrs.put(new BasicAttribute("objectclass","organizationalUnit")) ; 
orgAttrs.put(new BasicAttribute("activeFlag","A")) ; 
orgAttrs.put(new BasicAttribute("description","abcd")) ; .
.
.
ctx.createSubcontext("ou=domain1", orgAttrs);

Please note that I was able to create attribute "activeFlag" in this object 
even though I didn't do any change/insert in any schema. (description is 
ofcourse a predefined attribute) After creating this object, I was also able to 
update the value of this attribute in the following way

ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[some size here] ;
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, new 
BasicAttribute(("activeFlag","I"));
mods[1] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, new 
BasicAttribute(("description","abcdNew"));
ctx.modifyAttributes("ou=domain1" , mods) ;

All the above calls were working properly in 0.9.
Now when I upgraded to 0.9.3, the update to activeFlag doesn't work, update to 
description works. But the creation of both activeFlag and description using 
the createSubContext call works.

So I think it is to do with schema, but then how does the creation work in the 
first place?
Following is the server.xml file that I use to start the LDAP server
