Patch: Fixed
Approval: Accepted

 Description   

JMX Attributes can have null references. Currently a Exception is thrown because the "null-type" is not handled via objects->data:

user> (jmx/mbean "java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=PS MarkSweep")
{:LastGcInfo #<IllegalArgumentException java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No implementation of method: :objects->data of protocol: #'clojure.java.jmx/Destract found for class: nil>, :CollectionCount 0, :CollectionTime 0, :MemoryPoolNames #<String[] [Ljava.lang.String;@57b8fe29>, :Name "PS MarkSweep", :Valid true, :ObjectName #<ObjectName java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=PS MarkSweep>}

After applying this patch:

user> (jmx/mbean "java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=PS MarkSweep")
{:LastGcInfo nil, :CollectionCount 0, :CollectionTime 0, :MemoryPoolNames #<String[] [Ljava.lang.String;@2225be1e>, :Name "PS MarkSweep", :Valid true, :ObjectName #<ObjectName java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=PS MarkSweep>}

I don't suppose you know of a standard mbean that ships with most jvms we could use to write a test case for this?

I don't know of a standard MBean attribute which is reproducible Null. "LastGcInfo" of "java.lang:type=GarbageCollector,name=PS MarkSweep" is non-Null after a garbage collection.

I think its better to test the Destract protocol directly instead of using a "live" MBean in this case.

BTW. there was also a duplicate definition of the existing Destract tests in test-objects->data. Patches enclosed.
