Problem description:
====================

The javadoc for constructor of the javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal class
states as follows:
---Excerpt-from-spec---
protected CardTerminal(TerminalFactory factory)
Constructs a new CardTerminal object.

This constructor is called by subclasses only. Application should call terminals() or getTerminal() to obtain a CardTerminal object.


Parameters:
factory - the TerminalFactory that created this terminal

Throws:
NullPointerException - if factory is null

---End-of-Excerpt-from-spec---

However, NullPointerException is not thrown if factory is null.

Please run the minimized test to reproduce failure.

Minimized test:
===============

--- test.java ---
import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal;
import javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactory;
import javax.smartcardio.Card;
import javax.smartcardio.CardException;

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            CardTerminal term = new StubCardTerminal((TerminalFactory)null);
            System.out.println("Failed. NullPointerException was not thrown.");
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            System.out.println("Passed.");
        }
    }
}
--- test.java ---

--- StubCardTerminal.java ---
import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal;
import javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactory;
import javax.smartcardio.Card;
import javax.smartcardio.CardException;

public class StubCardTerminal extends CardTerminal {

    public StubCardTerminal(TerminalFactory factory) {
        super(factory);
    }

    public String getName() {
        return "JCKCardTerminal";
    }

    public Card connect(String protocol) throws CardException {
        return null;
    }

    public boolean isCardPresent() throws CardException {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean waitForCardPresent(long timeout) throws CardException{
        return false;
    }

    public boolean waitForCardAbsent(long timeout) throws CardException {
        return true;
    }
