Paul Spencer updated KARAF-7435:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Setting a configuration parameter to null throws a NullPointerException. The 
specification, 
[https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.configurator.html],
 is silent on the use of null as a property value, but includes the following 
"If a requested conversion cannot be performed, then the configuration is not 
processed and the Configurator implementation should log an error."; in 
addition the configuration parameter are stored in a Dictionary structure which 
requires a non-null key and non-null value. Although the json format supports 
'null' as value and OSGi confutation appears to required non-null values, 
should Karaf log something like "Null value for <Property Name> not supported." 
instead of throwing a NPE?

*Thrown exception*
