RE: reflected char array returning null package.

[Marko Milicevic]

I tried to simplify the sample, and I'm still getting the same error?

        static void test() throws Exception 
        {
                String foobar = "foobar";
                Schema s =
ReflectData.get().getSchema(foobar.getClass());
                ReflectDatumWriter writer = new ReflectDatumWriter(s);
                ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                BinaryEncoder binaryEncoder = new BinaryEncoder(out);

                writer.write(foobar, binaryEncoder);
        }

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

It almost seems as though java.lang.String is not supported?  But I got
this code from an avro unit test (TestReflect.java) that serialized
objects containing Strings?

Thanks.
