Hi,
Since Restlet 2.0RC3, ConverterService throws a nullPointerException when
attempting to resolve an empty form.
Here is a short code exemple :
ClientResource resource = new ClientResource("uri");
resource.post(new Form());
>From the server side, the post handle looks like this :
@Post create(Form form) {
// do stuff
}
And finally, the stack trace we got :
java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.restlet.resource.ServerResource.doHandle(ServerResource.java:402)
at org.restlet.resource.ServerResource.post(ServerResource.java:1047)
The question is, okay we really want a well formed form here, but it seems to
us that throwing a nullpointer when receiving en empty form is a bit to
excessive :)
