I am trying to add a document to an ou programatically. I am using ApacheDS v 
2.0.0-M17. I am also using Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0.v20130628.

I am able to connect to the server localhost, at port 10389, and am working in 
partition dc=test,dc=com (for this example).

The following organizational units exist in the partition - persistent 
(ou=persistent,dc=test,dc=com), and under persistent, 
documentStore(ou=documentStore,ou=persistent,dc=test,dc=com).

If I import a document into the documentStore ou using an ldif import, it 
works. The ldif file contains only the following lines:
1.  dn: documentIdentifier=D1,ou=documentStore,ou=persistent,dc=test,dc=com
2.  objectClass: document
3.  documentIdentifier: D1
I can also create the document by right clicking on the ou node in the LDAP 
browser, selecting New->New Entry (or New->New Context Entry; both seem to open 
the same dialog). In the dialog, I select Create entry from scratch, click 
Next, and select document from the Available object classes. This addsdocument 
and top to the Selected object classes. I then click Next. For RDN, I enter 
documentIdentifier and D2 to the entry fields, and click (yep, you guessed it!) 
Next. This shows three attributes ... two objectClass values (document and 
top), and one documentIdentifier value (D2), as expected. The dialog indicates 
that these are must attributes. I then click Finish, and the document node is 
displayed in the LDAP Browser in AD Studio.

Next, I try to create a document entry from a short 
java<http://www.javaranch.com/> program. I can successfully create an ou using 
the program, by creating an 
InitialDirContext<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/naming/directory/InitialDirContext.html>
 (let's call it idc. I can then create an ou using the following code:
1.  // The InitialDirContext is created using dn: 
ou=documentStore,ou=persistent,dc=test,dc=com
2.  // The argument ouName is set to the value ou=anotherOu
3.    public void createOu( String ouName )
4.    {
5.      try
6.      {
7.        // CreateOu attributes to be associated with the new context
8.        Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true); // case-ignore
9.        Attribute objclass = new BasicAttribute("objectclass");
10.       objclass.add("top");
11.       objclass.add("organizationalUnit");
12.       attrs.put(objclass);
13.
14.       // CreateOu the context
15.       Context result = idc.createSubcontext(ouName, attrs);
16.
17.       // Close the context when we're done
18.       result.close();
19.     }
20.     catch ( NamingException e )
21.     {
22.       System.err.println( "LdapTest::createOu(): " + e.getMessage() );
23.       e.printStackTrace();
24.     }
25.   }
This code completes successfully, and the new ou, anotherOu, is visible in the 
LDAP Browser, when I reload the directoryStore ou.

Finally, I modify the code above to attempt to programatically add a document 
to the documentStore ou. The modified code is as follows:
1.  // The InitialDirContext is created using dn: 
ou=documentStore,ou=persistent,dc=test,dc=com
2.  // The argument docName is set to the value documentIdentifier=D3
3.    public void createDocument( String docName )
4.    {
5.      try
6.      {
7.        // CreateOu attributes to be associated with the new context
8.        Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true); // case-ignore
9.        Attribute objclass = new BasicAttribute("objectclass");
10.       objclass.add("top");
11.       objclass.add("document");
12.       attrs.put(objclass);
13.
14.       // CreateOu the context
15.       Context result = idc.createSubcontext(docName, attrs);
16.
17.       // Close the context when we're done
18.       result.close();
19.     }
20.     catch ( NamingException e )
21.     {
22.       System.err.println( "LdapTest::createDocument(): " + e.getMessage() );
23.       e.printStackTrace();
24.     }
25.   }
When I run this code, I get the following exception message and stack trace:
1.  LdapTest::createDocument(): [LDAP: error code 16 - NO_SUCH_ATTRIBUTE:

I am a novice LDAP user, and freely admit I don't understand it very well. Any 
assistance in identifying my error, or identifying a solution, would be greatly 
appreciated.
