Hello Volunteers,
Shing-wai had filed this issue a while ago and I needed to make an API
change to test out some CSS for the javadoc. This seemed like a good
way to do two things at once.
From the issue:
8<--------------------
In the javadoc of ServletContext#getInitParameter, we have
Returns a String containing the value of the named context-wide
initialization parameter, or null if the parameter does not exist.
What happens when the name parameter is null? Should we throw NPE?
Similar issue for #getAttribute? We would like to have a more
consistence answer for these?
8<--------------------
I propose we return the literal string "null" without the quotes in both
cases.
Comments?
Thanks,
Ed
