public class NullArgumentException
     
     
extends NullPointerException

Signals that a given argument is null where is must no be null.

Due to Java conventions the exception does not derive from IllegalArgumentException as one might expect.

If a caller passes null in some parameter for which null values are prohibited, convention dictates that NullPointerException be thrown rather than IllegalArgumentException.
