thanks Emmanuel that worked fine. if the error was down to me misusing
the API then there is no need to fill a JIRA?

Yes, this is not very user friendly.
You should not define an AttributeType if you don't define teh
associated syntax - and we should check that teh attributeType is valid
in the DefaultAttribute constructor -.
do something like :
Attribute attribute = new DefaultAttribute( "mail", "t...@test.com");
That should work.
Feel free to fill a JIRA for the NPE you are facing, we should fix it.
Thanks !

i am reinvestigating some code that i previously had working and now i
get a NPE
AttributeType attributeType = new AttributeType("mail");
StringValue stringValue = new StringValue(attributeType,
"t...@test.com");
Attribute attribute = new DefaultAttribute(attributeType, stringValue);
on the third line i get a NullPointerException and stepping through
the code inside DefaultAttribute at line 1857 isHR =
attributeType.getSyntax().isHumanReadable(); attributeType.syntax is
null.
