Jörn Kottmann commented on UIMA-1478:
-------------------------------------
No you are right.The exception handling in the method should be improved. If
the exceptions can really occur and the method cannot return a cas object it
throws a NPE. I just tried to say that returning null does not help to improve
the situation at all.
To improve the situation we have to find out if the exceptions can really be
thrown and then we can replace
the NPE by another explicit exception which also contains a message.
The method should also have a short javadoc comment explaining what it does and
maybe explain under which
circumstances it throws an exception.
Please feel free to refactor the method.
