>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-760
>             Project: Tika
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: parser
>    Affects Versions: 0.10
>         Environment: JDK 1.6, Linux
>            Reporter: Torsten Krah
>             Fix For: 1.1

> The method:
>     public void characters(String characters) throws SAXException {
>         characters(characters.toCharArray(), 0, characters.length());
>     }
> does not check for null values.
> On many code references a check is done "before" calling this methd. However on other sides, e.g. HSLFExtractor some values are not checked:
> xhtml.characters( comment.getAuthor() );
> which may be null.
> The simplest fix would be to check for null on the handler and if it is null handle it as NOOP or insert the new UTF-8 "replacement char" to let the user decide.
