Gerald Turner updated DIRAPI-265:
---------------------------------
Attachment: Dn-Serialize-null-bytes-Fix.patch
Fix for ensuring bytes field is populated during readExternal
> Deserialized Dn loses bytes field resulting in null dn, treated as Root DSE
> when encoded in ModifyRequests
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>
> The Dn class is Externalizable and has fields normName and bytes. The
> readExternal/writeExternal methods preserve the normName field, but ignore
> the bytes field. The Dn class has a static method, getBytes, which will
> return null if the Dn instance had been deserialized. The
> ModifyRequestDecorator uses the Dn getBytes method when encoding the entry
> name onto the PDU, resulting in a zero length sequence if the Dn had been
> deserialized, therefore treated like the Root DSE.
