    Description

      The code for dealing with an array in the contains class needs to be swapped to prevent a NPE. The solution is trivial and involves swapping the order of the equals test for Arrays to be inline with that used for Iterable.

      Currently the code is :

      ...else if (obj1.getClass().isArray()) {
      for (int i = 0; i < Array.getLength(obj1); i++) {
      Object value = null;
      value = Array.get(obj1, i);

      if (value.equals(obj2))

      { // throws NPE if array contains null element //log.debug("obj1 is an array and contains obj2"); return true; }

      }
      }

      When it should be :

      ...else if (obj1.getClass().isArray()) {
      for (int i = 0; i < Array.getLength(obj1); i++) {
      Object value = null;
      value = Array.get(obj1, i);

      if (obj2.equals(value))

      { // change the order of the equals test to prevent NPE //log.debug("obj1 is an array and contains obj2"); return true; }

      }
      }
