Description

Utility.serializeDateTime() throws a NullPointerException when trying to serialize a null Date (an Object's property of Date type that hasn't been initialized for whatever reason).

Current code:

1441 public static String serializeDateTime(Date date)

{ 1442 return serializeDateTime(date.getTime(), true); 1443 }

So if for some reason date is null, line 1442 would throw a java.lang.NullPointerException. It should include the null check and return null or an empty string. For example:

public static String serializeDateTime(Date date) {
if(date == null)

{ return null; }

return serializeDateTime(date.getTime(), true);
}

Current code with proper format (without line numbers):

Utility.java
 
public static String serializeDateTime(Date date) {
    return serializeDateTime(date.getTime(), true);
}
