At first look, I believed that this example is creating an invalid context, because an Attribute requires an AttributeValue according to the XACML context schema.  A subject, resource, and action are required as well.  So I at first concluded that the ParseException was simply misleading as it was truly an invalid request context.   If this request was an XML request with an empty Attribute and it was validated against the schema it would fail.  However building it via the object model is providing a convenience.

The RequestAttributeFactory is built to allow you to create Date/Time/DateTime attributes with no value provided and it will take the current system time.  There is in fact an issue with the default value it is setting.

> Using the API call RequestAttributeFactory.createTimeAttributeType(attName, issuer) causes a "ParsingException: couldn't create http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#time attribute based on DOM node"
> Note that with the above API call, we do not supply any time string, but assume that the current time is used. As a comparison the similar API call RequestAttributeFactory.createDateTimeAttributeType(attName, issuer) works without any issues - hence it seems logical that the createTimeAttributeType() contains a possible bug
