Description

The spec of SerialBlob.setBinaryStream says "throws SerialException - if the SerialBlob in not instantiated with a Blob object that supports setBinaryStream()". So if the SerialBlob is instantiated with a byte buffer, it's supposed to throw SerialException. But following test shows that RI throws NullPointerException instead:
public void testSetBinaryStreamJ() throws Exception {
byte[] buf =

{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }

;
SerialBlob serialBlob = new SerialBlob(buf);
serialBlob.setBinaryStream(1);
}

As discussed in dev mailing list, Harmony will comply with spec, and won't follow RI for this case.
