hasMoreElements - hyponated values

[davisambrose]

I am trying to retrive an hypenated lastname ("sn") from Active
Directory and it always returns null. Any ideas how to handle
hyphenated values using get method? The last name looks something like
John-Doe.

Thanks.

SearchResult s5=(SearchResult)answer.next();
Attributes a=s5.getAttributes();

firstname= String.valueOf(a.get("givenName").get());
username= String.valueOf(a.get("mailNickname").get());

try {
lastname = String.valueOf(a.get("sn").get());
} catch (Exception err) {
lastname = " ";
System.err.println("Problem getting attribute:" + err);
}
}
