In what occasions can we get a NullPointerException(“Name is null”); error?

Question

Besides, the valueOf() method of Java's Enum class API, does anyone know, if any other Java API class throws that same exception, ie, NullPointerException("Name is null"); ?

Answer 1

There are no others:

$ pwd
/c/apps/java/jdk1.8.0/src

$ grep -r "\"Name is null"\" *
java/lang/Enum.java:            throw new NullPointerException("Name is null");

There are, of course, many other Java APIs (not the Oracle Java SDK) that could throw exactly the same exception...
