Hi Everybody, *problem*
Despite the fact, that validation in constructor of RelationNotification prohibit creation of the class instance with null sourceObj its possible to set it to null later by public setSource() method. So we should relax validation rules to preserve serialization behavior compatibility. *webrev* http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dsamersoff/8011038/webrev.01/ *jdk8 changeset* http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/fce446b29577 *testing* JCK, no separate regression tests required. -- Dmitry Samersoff Oracle Java development team, Saint Petersburg, Russia * I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the sources.
