A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In the javadoc for DirContext and InitialDirContext, under the method

public void modifyAttributes(String name,
                             int mod_op,
                             Attributes attrs)
                      throws NamingException

under parameters it says "...map not be null"
it should read "...may not be null"

This is a problem in 1.4.2, and 1.5 that I know of. For DirContext and InitialDirContext...that I know of.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
...may not be null
ACTUAL -
...map not be null
