Hi,
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1024
So RI allows creation of the Binding with null name. I don't see much sence in such object. How can it be used? For what? Moreover, we have a non-null spec requirement. So IMHO it is ok to throw NullPointerException here and file Non-Bug-Diff JIRA.
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2525
The same thing here. The only exception is that IMHO test3 from this JIRA is valid. Why not to throw IndexOutOfBoundsException before NullPointerException? Regards, 2006/12/17, Zakharov, Vasily M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Well, that's better than nothing. :) In fact, those two bugs I've mentioned are the ones I'm most interested in right now: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1024 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-2525 What to you think we should do to them? Thank you.
