James Sawle updated LANG-1050:
------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: My suggestion was the following.
{code}
public static <T> T[] nullToEmpty(final T[] array) {
if (isEmpty(array)) {
return toArray();
}
return array;
}
{code}
An empty array will be generated by the JVM to handle the varargs parameter,
giving the desired behaviour.)
> Change nullToEmpty methods to generics

> Key: LANG-1050
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1050
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: James Sawle
>
> Currently there are multiple Object based methods which could be replaced by
> a single generic method.
> - public static Long[] nullToEmpty(final Long[] array)
> - public static Integer[] nullToEmpty(final Integer[] array)
> - public static Short[] nullToEmpty(final Short[] array)
> - public static Character[] nullToEmpty(final Character[] array)
> - public static Byte[] nullToEmpty(final Byte[] array)
> - public static Double[] nullToEmpty(final Double[] array)
> - public static Float[] nullToEmpty(final Float[] array)
> - public static Boolean[] nullToEmpty(final Boolean[] array)
> Recommendation, replace all of these with a single method that would also
> allow a defensive programming style when not using wrapped primitives.
> - public static <T> T[] nullToEmpty(final T[] array)
