Error handling in property editors for null values
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4495
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4495
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Sub-task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Adrian Brock


As per the parent task, the error handling for the DateEditor is not handling null values correctly.

   public void setValue(Object value)
   {
      if (value instanceof Date)
      {
         text = null;
         super.setValue(value);
      }
      else
      {
         throw new IllegalArgumentException("setValue() expected java.util.Date value, got "
               + value.getClass().getName());
      }
   }

There needs to be an initial
if (value == null)
   throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null value for setValue() expected java.util.Date");

or alternatively (since the javadocs don't disallow null values)
if (value == null)
   return null;

The other property editors need checking for the same problem.
