(will be in WS soon)


Specification excerpt:
======================
--------- J2SE API spec v.1.5 ---------
...
public void removeHandler(Handler handler)
                   throws SecurityException
Remove a log Handler.

Returns silently if the given Handler is not found or is null

Parameters:
handler - a logging Handler
Throws:
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and if the caller does not have LoggingPermission("control").
...
---------- end-of-excerpt ---------------

Problem description
===================
The designated method throws NPE in case input param == null.
And that does not fit to current spec.


    
Minimized test:
===============
------- T.java -------
import java.util.logging.*;

public class T extends Logger {
    public T(String name, String rbundle) {
        super(name, rbundle);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        T logger = new T("test", null);
        logger.removeHandler(null);
    }
}

------- end-of-T.java -------

Minimized test output:
======================
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.util.logging.Logger.removeHandler(Logger.java:1161)
        at T.main(T.java:10)
