[Building Sakai] Possible NPE in BaseContentService

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Evandro,

Yes, file a bug report and steps to recreate the problem, if possible. If not easy to reproduce, and its possible that value is can be null, then a null check guard around it might be all that is needed, and some unit tests can test it.

cheers,
Steve
