Specification excerpt:
======================
--------- J2SE API spec v.1.5 ---------
...
public SerialClob(Clob clob)
           throws SerialException,
                  SQLException
Constructs a SerialClob object that is a serialized version of the given Clob object.

The new SerialClob object is initialized with the data from the Clob object; therefore, the Clob object should have previously brought the SQL CLOB value's data over to the client from the database. Otherwise, the new SerialClob object object will contain no data.

Note: The Clob object supplied to this constructor cannot return null for the Clob.getCharacterStream() and Clob.getAsciiStream methods. This SerialClob constructor cannot serialize a Clob object in this instance and will throw an SQLException object.

Parameters:
clob - the Clob object from which this SerialClob object is to be constructed; cannot be null
Throws:
SerialException - if an error occurs during serialization
SQLException - if a SQL error occurs in capturing the CLOB; if the Clob object is a null; or if both the Clob.getCharacterStream() and Clob.getAsciiStream() methods on the Clob return a null
...
---------- end-of-excerpt ---------------

Problem description
===================
The designated method throws NPE if one of clob.getCharacterStream() and clob.getAsciiStream() returns null. The spec says that "botht he Clob.getCharacterStream()
and Clob.getAsciiStream() methods on the Clob" should return null to see SQLException.
(Note: SQLException but not NullPointerException)
