phew, my world is still turning the right way.. That means the code *is* redundant, IMO.

OK, I had to know, so I looked it up:

From the Java Language Specification 15.20.2:

At run time, the result of the instanceof operator is true if the value of
the RelationalExpression is not null and the reference could be cast
(�15.16) to the ReferenceType without raising a ClassCastException.
Otherwise the result is false.

K.C.

my question is: doesnt "value instanceof Class" always

return false if

value is null? Isnt the null check therefore redundant?

I do not think it does return false. On the contrary, null can be of any class as far as my experience goes...
