Michael Elman commented on WINK-37:
-----------------------------------

Personally I prefer to fail user with NPE.
The reason: user that receives null, thinks that there is no available provider 
for the submitted input.
But actually this is not the case, since user has passed null for a required 
parameter and this means there is a bug in his code.

> detection of null params to avoid NPE

> I was working on a few bigger integration tests, and ran into some NPEs in 
> ProvidersRegistry due to my resource passing null params into ProvidersImpl.* 
> methods.  Granted, this is something an app or resource should not normally 
> do, but I think some protection against NPE would be good here.  Please see 
> proposed patch with tests.
> The supplied test is a start on building up more ProvidersImpl unittests.
