Description billpittore 2001-03-16 14:50:00 UTC 
If the service has a null attribute then line 431 causes an exception:
   addEntryClass(item.attributeSets[i].getClass(), item.serviceID

For whatever reason, many services that show up on our network cause
this problem.

I fixed my version by adding a conditional:

if (item.attributeSets[i] != null)
    addEntryClass(item.attributeSets[i].getClass(), item.serviceID);

Possibly need the same fix in serviceRemoved() as well.

Thanks. May it would be worthy to investigate why an attribute has null value
because null has reserved meaning in Entry concept. I guess deserialization
problem.
