Question about null check in GFacUtils

[Amila Jayasekara]

Hi All,

In GFacUtils I see methods like follows;

public static void updateApplicationJobStatusUpdateTime(JobExecutionContext
context, String jobId, Date statusUpdateTime){
        AiravataAPI airavataAPI =
context.getGFacConfiguration().getAiravataAPI();
if(airavataAPI != null){
try {
airavataAPI.getProvenanceManager().updateApplicationJobStatusUpdateTime(jobId,
statusUpdateTime);
} catch (AiravataAPIInvocationException e) {
log.error("Error in updating application job status time
"+statusUpdateTime.toString()+" for job Id "+jobId+"!!!", e);
}
        }
}

Any particular reason to have "if(airavataAPI != null)" condition ?

Thanks
Amila
