the attributeType in ApacheDS is not created manually rather obtained
through a lookup operation on
SchemaManager like
dirService.getSchemaManager().lookupAttributeTypeRegistry(
"objectClass" )
having said that, you can create a modification in a rather easy way
by using ClientModification and DefaultClientAttribute classes as
shown below
EntryAttribute attribute = new DefaultClientAttribute(
"objectClass", "javaObject" );
ClientModification cm = new ClientModification(
ModificationOperation.ADD_ATTRIBUTE, attribute );
