>
> Key: DIRSERVER-701
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-701
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0-RC4
> Environment: * ApacheDS 1.0 RC4 SNAPSHOT
> * Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
> * Windows XP Professional SP2
> Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
> Assigned To: Alex Karasulu
> Attachments: AttributeRemovalByReplacementTest.java
>
>
> If someone tries to replace an existing attribute with an attribute with no
> values (modify op), it is expected that the attribute is removed. In Apache
> DS (curent 1.0 branch), this is not the case.
> The attached test case creates an inetOrgPerson entry and tries to remove the
> givenname attribute with the following lines:
> ...
> // replace attribute givenName with empty value (=> deletion)
> Attribute attr = new BasicAttribute("givenname");
> ModificationItem item = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,
> attr);
> ctx.modifyAttributes(rdn, new ModificationItem[] { item });
> ...
> The operation does not cause an error, but afterwards the givenname attribute
> is still present in the entry (although it does not have any value). It is
> expected that the attribute givenname does not exist anymore within the entry.
> The attached test case demonstrates the situation and passes on the following
> servers:
> * Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2
> * OpenLDAP 2.3
> * IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0
> On Apache Directory Server 1.0 RC4 SNAPSHOT, it fails.
