- public class NullArgumentException
- extends IllegalArgumentException
Thrown to indicate that an argument was null
and should
not have been.
This exception supplements the standard IllegalArgumentException
by providing a more semantically rich description of the problem.
NullArgumentException
represents the case where a method takes
in a parameter that must not be null
.
Some coding standards would use NullPointerException
for this case,
others will use IllegalArgumentException
.
Thus this exception would be used in place of
IllegalArgumentException
, yet it still extends it.
public void foo(String str) {
if (str == null) {
throw new NullArgumentException("str");
}
// do something with the string
}
