Description

If the repository returns a date property with no value, date conversion fails with a NPE. Eg for date property like:

<cmis:propertyDateTime propertyDefinitionId="snx:lockedWhen" localName="snx_lockedWhen" displayName="Lock Date" queryName="snx:lockedWhen">
<cmis:value></cmis:value>
</cmis:propertyDateTime>

on a subtype of cmis:file, we get the following failure:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
