Nope, no exceptions are being thrown. There is an explicit check for null way down in org/apache/tomcat/util/buf/MessageBytes.java to handle this and many other situations where a null string may be present. > but definitely not following the "spirit" of the java in general I think you will find numerous APIs where a null String reference is interpreted as an empty string - the host parameter of the URL constructor, for example - this is just one more of them; there are also many where a null String is treated as an error. Can you point to some documentation for this particular aspect of the "spirit" of Java? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
