> The spec says for the java.io package: "Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in any class or interface in this package will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown".
> and says nothing about 'null' for DataOutputStream constructor.
> So, according to spec the  DataOutputStream(null) should lead to the NPE instead of writeBytes but according to RI no NPE for constructor and zero-length string for writeBytes.
> =================== test.java =========================
> import java.io.DataOutputStream;
> public class test {
>     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
>         System.out.println("res = " + new DataOutputStream(null));
>         new DataOutputStream(null).writeBytes("");
>         System.out.println("OK");
>     }
