MethodUtils.invokeSetterMethods() throws NullPointerException when args==null
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-408
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-408
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Bean / Property Utils
Affects Versions: 1.8.3
Environment: Using Beanutils 1.8.3
Reporter: Federico Carbonetti
When you invoke MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod(object, methodName, args) with
args==null you get a NullPointerException:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod(MethodUtils.java:352)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod(MethodUtils.java:315)
...
Reason is: public static Object invokeExactMethod(Object object, String
methodName, Object arg) gets invoked (see r. 305 below) and the null wrapped
into an array before invoking public static Object invokeExactMethod(Object
object, String methodName, Object[] args);
286 /**
287 * <p>Invoke a method whose parameter type matches exactly the object
288 * type.</p>
289 *
290 * <p> This is a convenient wrapper for
291 * {@link #invokeExactMethod(Object object,String methodName,Object
[] args)}.
292 * </p>
293 *
294 * @param object invoke method on this object
295 * @param methodName get method with this name
296 * @param arg use this argument
297 * @return The value returned by the invoked method

299 * @throws NoSuchMethodException if there is no such accessible
method
300 * @throws InvocationTargetException wraps an exception thrown by the
301 * method invoked
302 * @throws IllegalAccessException if the requested method is not
accessible
303 * via reflection
