NullPointerException serializing array with null element

[miguel-porto]

Hi,
It seems it is not possible to update a document with a bean with an array field with null element, like somefield: [3, null], it throws a NPE!
However, I can do it in AQL, so it's perfectly legal.
Cheers.

Hi,
will be fixed in version 4.1.5 which I will release within this week. You can already use it with 4.1.5-SNAPSHOT.

Thanks & Best

Thanks!
But I can see in the committed code that null array elements now are dropped. This is not consistent with what happens if I do it in AQL, i.e., the array will be saved keeping the null elements, like [3, null]. Is this the desired behavior? IMO null elements should be kept for consistency reasons (e.g. keeping the same array size).
Best,
Miguel

Imagine, for example, my array can represent the bars of a bar plot, and null may mean "no data", which is not the same as zero; yet, the space for the bar must be there anyway.

You are totally right. I changed it.
