Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-309:
-------------------------------------------

btw there is also the following invokeConstructor() method:
  public static Object invokeConstructor(Class, Object[], Class[])

..where you can specify the parameter types and avoid this issue. So in the 
example I gave above you would do the following to invoked the String 
constructor with a null argument:

ConstructorUtils.invokeConstructor(Foo.class, new Object[] {null}, new Class[] 
{String.class});

> Passing a null argument to ConstructorUtils.invokeConstructor causes 
> NullPointerException

>    Affects Versions: 1.7.0, 1.8.0-BETA
>            Reporter: Xavier Poinsard
>
> I am invoking ConstructorUtils.invokeConstructor with an array of arguments 
> and one of these arguments is null.
> This causes a NullPointerException line 120 in Class ConstructorUtils.
> Since its not forbidden to pass null argument to a constructor, 
> ConstructorUtils should handle it.
