[esb-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Work started: (JBESB-683) ListenerUtil.obtainAtt has different interpretation of default value for null

ListenerUtil.obtainAtt has different interpretation of default value for null ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-683 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBESB-683 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Rosetta Reporter: Mark Little Assigned To: Mark Little Fix For: 4.2 The normal assumption of null for a default value (e.g., in System.getProperty) is that you return null if there is nothing set. However, in ListenerUtil, if you pass null as a default value this means throw a ConfigurationException on finding null for the value. This is not intuitive and goes against all other similar mechanisms. If we need this capability, then let's add an explicit method for throwing an exception, or another parameter.
