An invocation of this method with duplicate elements in the attrSets parameter (where duplication means attribute equality as defined by calling the MarshalledObject.equals method on field values) is equivalent to performing the invocation with the duplicates removed from that parameter.
Note that because there is no guarantee that attribute propagation will have completed upon return from this method, services that invoke this method must take care not to modify the contents of the attrSets parameter. Doing so could cause the service's attribute state to be corrupted or inconsistent on a subset of the lookup services with which the service is registered as compared with the state reflected on the remaining lookup services. It is for this reason that the effects of modifying the contents of the attrSets parameter, after this method is invoked, are undefined.
@param attrSets array of Entry consisting of theattribute sets with which to augment the service's current set of attributes
@throws java.lang.NullPointerException if either null isinput to the attrSets parameter, or one or more of the elements of the attrSets parameter is null
