Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-843:
---------------------------------------------
>From an end user perspective, yes, but this class is only used inside
>ApacheDS, and our problem is that it might me called with any kind of object
>(when we expect String, LdapDN or Name). We only need to throw an exception
>which will be catched at an upper level and transformed to a valid Ldap error
>message (a NPE won't be catched).
However, even the exception seems to be a little bit too much. We might simply :
- create three methods, for each possible parameter (atm, we use instanceof ...)
- or simply use one single method which accept a String and nothing else
The API is not very consistant, at least ...

> We should throw an exception instead of allowing such NPE.
