    Subject: DNS Service Provider 1.2 Technology Preview 2 : Getting all attri
butes on domain name 'fisystem.com' generates a NPE
    Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 17:48:10 +0200

    Hi,

    I am trying to use the DNS Service Provider 1.2 Technology Preview 2 in
    order to get MX records of domain names. This is a portion of my code :

    javax.naming.directory.Attributes
    attrsP=((javax.naming.directory.DirContext)dnsP.getInitialContext()).getAttr
    ibutes("fisystem.com",new String[] { "a", "mx" });

    This codes works allright, but if I try to get *all* attributes using the
    following code :

    javax.naming.directory.Attributes
    attrsP=((javax.naming.directory.DirContext)dnsP.getInitialContext()).getAttr
    ibutes("fisystem.com");

    I get the following exception :

    java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.naming.directory.BasicAttributes.get(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContext.rrsToAttrs(DnsContext.java:452)

<rest of the stack trace skipped since irrelevant to the problem>

    I suspect a problem with a DNS record in "fisystem.com" but my knowledge in
    the field is too limited to investigate further.

    My provider URL is "dns://10.75.3.23" (i.e. we use an internal DNS).
