The java.net.URLConnection.setFileNameMap(FileNameMap map) allows
null map parameter.

Method's behavior for null map parameter is not documented.


Here is the javadoc comments for methods setFileNameMap


    /**
     * Sets the FileNameMap.
     *
     * @param map the FileNameMap to be set
     * @since JDK1.2
     */



Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

------------------------ Test.java ---------------------------------------
import java.net.*;

class test
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    FileNameMap map=null;
   

    try {
       URLConnection.setFileNameMap(map);
    } catch(SecurityException e)
    {
     System.out.println("Passed. Correctly failed to setup test:" + e);
     System.exit(0);
    }
    catch(NullPointerException e)
    {
     System.out.println("Passed. OKAY");
     System.exit(0);
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("Failed. Unexpected exception :" + e);
System.exit(-1);
    }
        
    System.out.println("Failed. No exceptions.");


  }
   
}

------------------------- Output from the test ----------------------------
Failed. No exceptions.
