Partha Paul updated LANG-1820:
------------------------------
    Description: 
The Javadoc for {{ObjectUtils.anyNull(Object...)}} {{@param}} states that 
{{true}} should be returned when the array is null or empty. However, the 
current implementation delegates to {{{}!allNotNull(values){}}}, and 
{{allNotNull()}} returns {{true}} for empty arrays, causing {{anyNull()}} to 
return {{false}} for empty arrays. This directly contradicts its own documented 
contract.

The two methods have conflicting contracts for the empty array case currently:

{{allNotNull()}} Javadoc states: {{@returns true}} if all values in the array 
are not null or array contains no elements
{{anyNull()}} Javadoc states: {{@returns true}} if the array is null or empty

Since {{anyNull()}} is implemented as {{{}!allNotNull(){}}}, it cannot satisfy 
both contracts simultaneously for the empty array case.

h5. Implementation (Current)
{code:java}
public static boolean anyNull(final Object... values) {
    return !allNotNull(values);
}
public static boolean allNotNull(final Object... values) {
    return values != null && Stream.of(values).noneMatch(Objects::isNull);
}
{code}

h5. Steps to Reproduce
{code:java}
@Test
void testAnyNull_EmptyArray_ReturnsTrue() {
    assertTrue(ObjectUtils.anyNull(), "anyNull should return true for an empty 
array per Javadoc");
    assertTrue(ObjectUtils.anyNull(new Object[] {}), "anyNull should return 
true for an empty array per Javadoc");
}
{code}
Both assertions will fail because {{anyNull()}} returns {{false}} for empty 
arrays.
