---------------------------------------------
Summary: Lack of consistency in comparaison api
Key: LANG-842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-842
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.*, lang.time.*
Affects Versions: 3.2
Reporter: Pier-Luc Caron St-Pierre
Priority: Trivial
The comparaison api is lacking of consistency with null.
Few instances :
org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils#equals returns false if one of the
parameter is null.
org.apache.commons.lang3.ObjectUtils#equals returns false if one of the
parameter is null.
org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils#truncatedCompareTo throws
IllegalArgumentException if one of the parameter is null
org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DateUtils#isSameInstant throws
IllegalArgumentException if one of the parameter is null
I do not have any suggestion to fix that problem because any solution would
break backward compatibility.
