Description Patrick Tasse CLA 2012-01-10 17:05:49 EST 
When the empty contructor for TmfEvent is used, it is possible for some of the instance variables to be null. This can cause a NullPointerException in the methods hashCode(), equals(), clone() and in the copy constructor.

The solution is to protect these methods against null instance variables. This also applies for the equals() method in classes TmfEventContent, TmfEventReference and TmfEventSource.
