Netscape SDK: Adding an entry with two description attributes does not combine
values.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-643
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-643
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Type: Bug
Versions: 1.0-RC3
Environment: ApacheDS 1.0 RC 3
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Microsoft Windows XP version 5.1 Service Pack 1
Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
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.
