Description

getNestedProperty() method it throws a NestedNullException if a bean in the nested expression is null - getPropertyDescriptor() and setNestedProperty() methods don't, they just throw an IllegalArgumentException.

Switching to NestedNullException is a compatible change since IllegalArgumentException is a super class of NestedNullException.
