                 Key: DIRAPI-48
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-48
             Project: Directory Client API
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-M5
            Reporter: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
            Assignee: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0.0-M6


Improve error reporting when an UnresolvedAddressException is thrown while connecting.

Currently the current exception is thrown:
org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.exception.InvalidConnectionException: Cannot connect on the server: null

Unfortunately the wrapped UnresolvedAddressException has no associated message, thus the 'null' value.
This is not very helpful to the user.

Something like this could help the user a lot more:
org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.exception.InvalidConnectionException: Cannot connect on the server: Hostname 'ldap.example.com' could not be resolved.
