[jboss-jira] [Red Hat JIRA] (WFCORE-5285) Improve Fail-Fast with Objects.requireNonNull

Improve Fail-Fast with Objects.requireNonNull --------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-5285 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-5285 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Enhancement Affects Versions: 14.0.1.Final Reporter: Boris Unckel Assignee: Jeff Mesnil Priority: Minor In the current WildFly-Core code are very few cases where Objects.requireNonNull is in use, 61 occurrences. Some of them can be improved with a message ("Parameter xyz cannot be null"). The idea is to add Objects.requireNonNull in more cases. The check shall not pollute at any place and shall occur only once (i.e. at the top of a class hierarchy for a specific attribute). Candidates would be: a) Constructors with object parameters without setter (single check at point of assignment to instance variable). NullPointer would raise at instantiation, not at usage. b) Factory methods which creates objects in terms of a) c) Public methods with two or more object parameters where null pointer would occur in the direct method code.
