I ran into a problem with JSONArray today that I think deserves a bug report, but I'm not exactly sure what the correct/expected behavior should be, so I'm not sure how to file the bug.
This test case demonstrates the issue: def "test add null to array"() { setup: String n = null JSONArray obj = new JSONArray() obj.put(n) when: String result = obj.toString() then: "[]" == result } I think I might expect the actual result to be [ null ], but you don't get that either, what you do get is a NULL pointer exception. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.tapestry5.json.JSONObject.printValue(JSONObject.java:887) at org.apache.tapestry5.json.JSONArray.print(JSONArray.java:436) at org.apache.tapestry5.json.JSONCollection.toString(JSONCollection.java:47) at com.starpoint.business.BusLogic1Test.test print empty array(BusLogic1Test.groovy:35) Looking at the code, it would appear that you don't want null to be a valid value (though I would argue it's perfectly fine), public JSONArray put(Object value) { assert value != null; JSONObject.testValidity(value); list.add(value); return this; } I don't run with assertions enabled (who does??), but apparently JSONObject.testValidity passes just fine. You don't run into a problem until you actually try to print the array (or return it as an ajax response). What is the correct behavior?
