When dataBuffer parameter of RasterFactory.createRaster() is null, JAI does not
throw any exception.

The following program can be used to illustrate this behaviour.

import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.image.SampleModel;
import java.awt.image.BandedSampleModel;
import java.awt.image.DataBuffer;
import javax.media.jai.RasterFactory;
class Bug_createRaster_S_D_P_17 {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    SampleModel sm =
      new BandedSampleModel(DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, 12, 34, 12,
      new int[]{0,1,2}, new int[]{0,0,0});
    RasterFactory.createRaster(sm, null, new Point(0,0));
  }
}

The JAI method simply calls Raster.createRaster. So the problem exists within
Java2D. The non-JAI test program is as follows:

import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.image.SampleModel;
import java.awt.image.BandedSampleModel;
import java.awt.image.DataBuffer;
import java.awt.image.Raster;
class Bug_createRaster_S_D_P_17 {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    SampleModel sm =
      new BandedSampleModel(DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, 12, 34, 12,
      new int[]{0,1,2}, new int[]{0,0,0});
    Raster.createRaster(sm, null, new Point(0,0));
  }
}
