        requestAssociation with null file extension throws NPE
        java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.sun.jnlp.IntegrationServiceImpl.requestAssociation(Unknown Source)

        Since file extensions are optional parameter we may need to allow this or should throw IllegalArgumentException rather than throwing Null Pointer Exception.

        Example:
                        IntegrationService is = (IntegrationService)
                                ServiceManager.lookup("javax.jnlp.IntegrationService");
                        String mime = "abc/xyz";
                        boolean result = is.requestAssociation(mime,null);
        Grouped 3 other CRs into this one, as it is really only one problem.
        RequestAssociation with invalid mime returns true.

        I am requesting Invalid MIME (Mime syntax is [any char]+/[any char]+). RequestAssociation is returning true.

        I think it should return false here. I understand we are not checking the syntax of mime type.(and expecting user will know this ) But I think it should be nice to check these to make the api more robust.
        Example:
                        IntegrationService is = (IntegrationService)
                                ServiceManager.lookup("javax.jnlp.IntegrationService");
                        String mime = "abc";
                        String [] exts = {".abc"};
                        boolean result = is.requestAssociation(mime,exts);

        hasAssociation with empty file extension string {""} throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException java
        null file extension throws NullPointerException.
        This is same as requestAssociation needs to change to either illegalArgumentException.

        Suppose we have assocition like this
            <association>
              <mime-type="application-x/swingset2-file"/>
            </association>
        If want to check hasAssocition("application-x/swingset2-file",null or {""}) ?
        Is <extensions> are mandatory ?

        requestAssociation with empty file extension string {""} throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
        java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
        at java.lang.String.charAt(Unknown Source)
        at com.sun.deploy.association.utility.AppUtility.addDotToFileExtension(Unknown Source)
        at com.sun.deploy.association.Association.addFileExtension(Unknown Source)
        at com.sun.jnlp.IntegrationServiceImpl.hasAssociation(Unknown Source)

        Here again we may need throw either IllegalArgumentException or should not create any association with file extension should not throw this Runtime Exception.
                        IntegrationService is = (IntegrationService)
                                ServiceManager.lookup("javax.jnlp.IntegrationService");
                        String mime = "abc/xyz";
                        String [] exts = {""};
                        boolean result = is.requestAssociation(mime,exts);
