Change subject: restapi: No NPE when no linked exception ...................................................................... restapi: No NPE when no linked exception Some exceptions generated when posting an incorrect XML document don't contain a linked exception. In those cases we try to reference them and thus a NPE is produced, for example, if we post a valid but incorrect XML document to a collection: # curl \ --insecure \ --request POST \ --header "Accept: application/xml" \ --header "Content-Type: application/xml" \ --user "${user}:${password}" \ --data "<garbage/>" \ ${url}/tags To avoid this issue this patch adds a check to the XML message body reader, so that when these type of exceptions occur it will generate the expected usage message instead of the NPE.
