Originally filed under the NDS SDK product and LDAP Java SDK component.

<remedy_details> I've come across what I think is an
assumption bug in the JLDAP API.  I think the assumption is that every
attribute
must have a value therefore there is no attempt to check or act if an attribute
doesn't have a value.  A situation where an attribute may not have a value is a
delete modification.  The attribute doesn't need a value because (obviously)
its
going to be deleted.  This bug manifests itself as a
java.lang.NullPointerException when you try to do a delete modification.

See attached suggested patch </remedy_details>
