Hi, Please review below code change for simple fix.
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~vtewari/8194676/webrev0.0/index.html BudID: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8194676The code change will fix the unintentional NullPointerException. If ip address is not set, while de-serialization NPE will be thrown.
After the change the "readObject" will throw "InvalidObjectException" which is already thrown when code will check for "ipaddress.length" invariant.
Thanks, Vyom
