Class NullArgumentException

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, ExceptionContextProvider

    public class NullArgumentException
    extends java.lang.NullPointerException
    implements ExceptionContextProvider
    All conditions checks that fail due to a null argument must throw this exception. This class is meant to signal a precondition violation ("null is an illegal argument") and so does not extend the standard NullPointerException. Propagation of NullPointerException from within Commons-Math is construed to be a bug.

    Note: from 4.0 onwards, this class extends NullPointerException instead of MathIllegalArgumentException.

    Since:
    2.2
