/**
 *  

Thrown to indicate that an argument was null and should * not have been. * This exception supplements the standard IllegalArgumentException * by providing a more semantically rich description of the problem.

* *

NullArgumentException represents the case where a method takes * in a parameter that must not be null. * Some coding standards would use NullPointerException for this case, * others will use IllegalArgumentException. * Thus this exception would be used in place of * IllegalArgumentException, yet it still extends it.

 *    if (str == null) {
 *      throw new NullArgumentException("str");
 *    }
 *    // do something with the string
