Description

Hi.

In this code:

        if (status == null || (status != Status.OK && status != Status.ERROR && status != Status.KILLED)) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Action status must be OK, ERROR or KILLED. Received ["
                    + status.toString() + "]");
        }

if status is null, status.toString() will be executed, so NullPointerException will be throw.
