Sebb reopened BEANUTILS-300:
----------------------------
There is definitely something wrong with the code:
{code}
if (dynaClass == null) {
setElementType(elementType);
}
// Create a new DynaBean
try {
dynaBean = dynaClass.newInstance();
{code}
dynaClass is a local variable, so if it is null initially, it will be null
later.
Either the variable can never be null initially, in which case the if statement
should be removed, or the variable can be null, in which case the NPE can occur.

> The transform() method does not protect lazyDynaClass from being null when
> the new DynaBean is created.
> Throw an exception? Or should the setElementType(..) call be joined by a
> lazyDynaClass=...something....
