The java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextSupport.getSelectedChildren()
returns an array filled with nulls if some children selected.

Here is the JDK Specification:
--------------------------------------------------

 public synchronized Object[] getSelectedChildren()

     Returns:
         an array containing the current (sub)set of children selected
        
Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------

import java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextSupport;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            BeanContextSupport bcs = new BeanContextSupport();

            Object[] objects = new Object[1];
            objects[0] = new Object();
    
            bcs.addChildren(objects);
            bcs.selectChildren(objects);

            Object[] selected = bcs.getSelectedChildren();
            if ((selected.length==1) && (selected[0] == null)) {
                System.out.println("getSelectedChildren()[0] == null");
            }
        
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Unexpected "+e+" thrown.");
        }
    }
}


---------Output from the test---------------------

getSelectedChildren()[0] == null

--------------------------------------------------
