@Deprecated(since="1.4",
forRemoval=true)
public class NullArgumentException
extends NullPointerException
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Thrown when a null argument has been given to a method that doesn't accept them.
This exception extends
NullPointerException
in order to stress out that
the error is an illegal argument rather than an unexpected usage of a null pointer
inside a method body.
API note:
We could argue that this exception should extend
IllegalArgumentException
.
However, NullPointerException
has become a more widely adopted practice and
is now the recommended one in the Effective Java book.- Since:
- 0.3

instead.
