Niall Pemberton resolved BEANUTILS-390.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
There is no need for NullSafeBeanComparator - you can construct a
BeanComparator with any Comparator implementation, so you just need to do that
with a null-safe flavour. As you point out, the NullPointerException is in
ComparableComparator - which isn't even part of BeanUtils
> BeanComparator throws exception for null property values

> Key: BEANUTILS-390
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-390
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Bean-Collections
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Reporter: Matthew Toso
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: NullSafeBeanComparator.java
>
>
> When using a BeanComparator to sort on a bean property that may contain null
> values, an exception is thrown. By default, the BeanComparator uses a
> ComparableComparator internally. ComparableComparator in turn throws a
> NullPointerException when it attempts to compare to a null value. My proposed
> solution is extending BeanComparator with a new class,
> NullSafeBeanComparator, that incorporates logic from NullComparator. I have a
> working example and will attach it.
