[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-52?page=comments#action_12444520 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-52: -----------------------------------
The only problem with this is in the messages. The NullArgumentException automatically adds " must not be null" to the end of any message passed up to it (ACK). In Validate we receive the message to print out, so having " must not be null" on the end becomes very daft. Credit to whomever wrote the unit tests that failed; otherwise I wouldn't have noticed. We should also change the noNullElements methods if we do change the notNull ones, but I think the gain here is not worth the pain. I'm +1 to WONTFIX this. > [lang] Validate.notNull should throw NullArgumentException > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-52 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-52 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: Operating System: All > Platform: All > Reporter: Jörg Gottschling > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 3.0 > > > Validate.notNull throws a IllegalArgumentException but should throw a > NullArgumentException -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
