>             Project: Directory ApacheDS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0-RC4
>         Environment: * ApacheDS 1.0 RC4 SNAPSHOT
> * Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
> * Windows XP Professional SP2

> If someone tries to replace an existing attribute with an attribute with no values (modify op), it is expected that the attribute is removed. In Apache DS (curent 1.0 branch), this is not the case. 
> The attached test case creates an inetOrgPerson entry and tries to remove the givenname attribute with the following lines:
> ...
> // replace attribute givenName with empty value (=> deletion)
> Attribute attr = new BasicAttribute("givenname");
> ModificationItem item = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, attr);
> ctx.modifyAttributes(rdn, new ModificationItem[] { item });
> ...
> The operation does not cause an error, but afterwards the givenname attribute is still present in the entry (although it does not have any value). It is expected that the attribute givenname does not exist anymore within the entry.
> The attached test case demonstrates the situation and passes on the following servers:
>     * Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2
>     * OpenLDAP 2.3
>     * IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.0
> On Apache Directory Server 1.0 RC4 SNAPSHOT, it fails.
