Description Matt MacIvor CLA 2011-02-22 13:49:09 EST 
A null pointer exception occurs when marshalling a null wrapped in a JAXBElement through EclipseLink JAXB.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBMarshaller.wrapObjectInXMLRoot(JAXBMarshaller
.java:464)
at
org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBMarshaller.wrapObject(JAXBMarshaller.java:453
)
at
org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBMarshaller.marshal(JAXBMarshaller.java:377)
at testing.JaxbElementNull.main(JaxbElementNull.java:65) 

This is due to a missing null check when determining if the value wrapped the the JAXBElement is a binary type.
