Symptoms

In ADF 12.2.1.0.0 when a Create operation (POST REST request) in ADF REST Web Service is called with null values for Date columns, a NullPointerException is thrown.

For example, Create operation with the following payload:

{
     "CommissionPct" : null,
     "DepartmentId" : <ID>,
     "Email" : "EMAIL",
     "EmployeeId" : <ID>,
     "FirstName" : "<NAME>",
     "HireDate" : null,
     "JobId" : "<ID>",
     "LastName" : "<LASTNAME>",
     "ManagerId" : <ID>,
     "PhoneNumber" : "<NUMBER>",
     "Salary" : <NUMBER>
}

The HireDate value is passed as null, as the attribute is not required.
