Bug#506441: libdb-je-java: Behaviour of RawObject inconsistent with documentation

[Andreas Jonsson]

Package: libdb-je-java
Version: 3.3.62-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch



Documentation says that it is possible to pass null as second argument to RawObject(RawType type, Map<String,Object> values, RawObject superObject), but this throws NullPointerException.  This is
solved either by changing the code or changing the documentation.
