AttributeBasedRelationDAO class gets NullPointerException when trying to create 
a relation between two ldap entities. StackTrace is as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet JetspeedContainer threw exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.jetspeed.security.mapping.ldap.dao.impl.AttributeBasedRelationDAO.internalAddRelation(AttributeBasedRelationDAO.java:165)
        at 
org.apache.jetspeed.security.mapping.ldap.dao.impl.AttributeBasedRelationDAO.addRelation(AttributeBasedRelationDAO.java:230)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To fix the problem AttributeBasedRelationDAO class line 164 
(internalAddRelation method body) should be changed from:
--------------------------------------------
        if(relationAttribute == null)
        {
            fromEntity.setAttribute(this.relationAttribute,new 
ArrayList<String>());    
        }
--------------------------------------------
to:
--------------------------------------------
                if (relationAttribute == null)
                {
                        fromEntity.setAttribute(this.relationAttribute, new 
ArrayList<String>());
                        relationAttribute = 
fromEntity.getAttribute(this.relationAttribute);
                }
--------------------------------------------

Just setting the attribute leaves relationAttribute NULL, causing the NPE.
