However, the implementation of get will error in this > case. > {code} > public byte[] get() { > if (this.value == null) { > throw new IllegalStateException("Uninitialized. Null constructor " + > "called w/o accompanying readFields invocation"); > } > {code} > Either we need to change the javadoc to be more explicit or change the > behaviour of various accessors in the class. I would consider both solutions > to be breaking of the API contract since we are changing what clients can > expect from us. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
