Description daniel.wehrle 2011-07-05 09:53:06 UTC 
Hello,

i get an NPE writing a null value

String value = null;

Workbook workbook = new SXSSFWorkbook();
Sheet sheet = workbook.createSheet();
Row row = sheet.createRow( currentRowNr);
Cell cell = currentRow.createCell( currentCellNr);

cell.setCellValue( new XSSFRichTextString( value));

Error:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.poi.xssf.streaming.SXSSFSheet$SheetDataWriter.outputQuotedString(SXSSFSheet.java:1384)

Not sure what we should be doing for someone giving XSSFRichTextString a null value? 

Any chance you could check what XSSF and HSSF make of this?
Comment 2 daniel.wehrle 2011-07-05 13:28:03 UTC 
in XSSF and HSSF it's ok. 

I have changed implementation today cause we need large file export.
Comment 3 Nick Burch 2011-07-05 13:31:14 UTC 
Do they just treat it as an empty string?

(We'll want to replicate the same behaviour for SXSSF when fixed)
Comment 4 daniel.wehrle 2011-07-05 13:35:59 UTC 
Yes. Null value should be treat as empty string.

I have done a workaround in my implementation. null value -> empty string
Comment 5 Nick Burch 2011-07-05 13:42:19 UTC 
Should be fixed in r1143059.
