FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.5.0-b64

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
This bug appears in the generic classes for the FilteredRowSetImpl class.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
NullPointerException in FilteredRowSetImpl object when filter is set to null and when executing any of the "update" methods. I verified the bug in the source code. The class does not check for a null value and tries to execute a method of the Predicate object even though it is null.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a FilteredRowSetImpl object and attach it to a resultset.
2. Set the filter to null.
3. Execute one of the "update" methods.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The RowSet would be updated.
ACTUAL -
NullPointerException is thrown.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
NullPointerException thrown by the FilteredRowSetImpl object/class.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------

public static void updateFilteredRowSet(frs FilteredRowSetImpl, String dsName, String command, String updateCol, String updateVal) throws SQLException{
    frs.setDataSourceName(dsName);
    frs.setCommand(command);
    frs.execute();
    frs.setFilter(null);
    frs.beforeFirst();
    if(frs.next()){
        frs.updateString(updateCol, updateVal);
    }
    frs.close();
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The class if almost useless and I may as well use iteration to find needed rows instead of a filter since I cannot open up the filter. I suppose, however, I could create a Predicate that always returned true.
