feature.getDefaultGeometryProperty().getValue() fails if in some order

The following GeoJSON caused a null pointer exception:
{
"features" : [
{
"geometry" :

{ "coordinates" : [ 17.633333, 59.85 ], "type" : "Point" }

,
"type" : "Feature",
"properties" :

{ "name" : "Station" }

}
],
"type" : "FeatureCollection"
}

The following method caused a null pointer exception:
public void onGeoJSONMessage(String message) {
try {
FeatureCollection pois = new FeatureJSON().readFeatureCollection(message);

FeatureIterator features = pois.features();
while(features.hasNext())

{ Feature feature = features.next(); PoiEntity poiEntity = new PoiEntity(); poiEntity.setName(feature.getProperty("name").getValue().toString()); poiEntity.setPoint((Point) feature.getDefaultGeometryProperty().getValue()); poiEntity = poiDAO.saveOrUpdate(poiEntity); log.info("Persisted poi: " + poiEntity); }

} catch(Exception e)

{ final String MESSAGE = "An exception occurred while parsing POI(s): "; log.error(MESSAGE, e); String alert = MESSAGE + e.toString(); new AlertMessage(AlertMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, AlertMessage.ISSUE_TYPE_EXCEPTION, alert).publish(amqpTemplate); }
