Javadoc for java.util.logging.Logger methods with reference type arguments
does not describe expected reaction when null is passed in.
As "Requirements for Writing Java API Specifications" says:
 (http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingapispecs/index.html#method)

Method Specification
    This section applies to Java methods and constructors. Each method and
    constructor specification must include:
    .....
4.Null Argument Values - For each reference type argument, specify the behavior
  when null is passed in.See two examples. NOTE: If possible, document the general
  null argument behavior at the package or class level, such as causing a
  java.lang.NullPointerException to be thrown. Deviations from this behavior can
  then be documented at the method level.



The easy way here could be to specify null reaction on class level.
