Andy Grove commented on TUSCANY-1397:
-------------------------------------

You're right, the spec doesn't currently cover this.

Perhaps the spec should be amended to state that calling createDataObject() 
with a property that does not exist should throw an IllegalArgumentException ?

Alternatively it could just demand-create the property using a vendor-specific 
open DataObject type. That seems more consistent with the behaviour of the 
set<T>() calls.

I'm going to raise a JIRA against the spec, cross-referencing this JIRA.

> Calling createDataObject( "foo" ) where the data object's type does not 
> define a property "foo" causes a null pointer exception in 
> DataObjectUtil.createDataObject(DataObject dataObject, Property property, 
> Type type) because it attempts to call property.isContainment without 
> checking if the property is null.
> Calling createDataObject( "foo" ) on an open type should create an on-demand 
> property. If the type is not open and the property does not exist then an 
> exception should be thrown.
> Thanks,
