Benedikt Ritter commented on BEANUTILS-408:
-------------------------------------------
This also applies for the invokeStaticMethod() methods.
> MethodUtils.invokeMethod() throws NullPointerException when args==null
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEANUTILS-408
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-408
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bean / Property Utils
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Environment: Using Beanutils 1.8.3
> Reporter: Federico Carbonetti
> Fix For: 1.8.4
>
>
> When you invoke MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod(object, methodName, args) with
> args==null you get a NullPointerException:
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at
> org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod(MethodUtils.java:352)
> at
> org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod(MethodUtils.java:315)
> ...
> Reason is: public static Object invokeExactMethod(Object object, String
> methodName, Object arg) gets invoked (see r. 305 below) and the null wrapped
> into an array before invoking public static Object invokeExactMethod(Object
> object, String methodName, Object[] args);
