Ivan Hristov commented on LANG-694:
-----------------------------------
Yes, you are right it does not make much sense. I admit that I did not
structure issue's description well. Please, accept my apologize for the time
taken. I was looking for a way to execute given method on an object if it's not
null without having to check each time if the object is null. If the object is
null, simply return null otherwise return the result of the executed method. I
am going to close the issue.

> Currently there is a defaultIfNull method in ObjectUtils, which is a great
> one, but it will be nice to have an additional method called defaultIfNotNull
> which returns null if the first parameter is null or the second parameter if
> the object is not null.
> ObjectUtils.defaultIfNotNull(object1, anotherObject);
> For the moment I have to perform a null comparison on my own,e.g.,
> if (object1 == null) {
> return null;
> }
> return anotherObject;
