The MailJob without Credential Store can throw a Null Pointer Exception

Current Situation

• When the JITl com.sos.jitl.jobs.mail.MailJob does not use a Credential Store and does not set all of the the following arguments:
  • mail.smtp.host
  • mail.smtp.user
  • mail.smtp.password
• then the MailJob throws a NPE exception:

  Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
  at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:460)
  at com.sos.commons.mail.SOSMail.addMailProperty(SOSMail.java:1225)
  at com.sos.commons.mail.SOSMail.useCredentialStoreArguments(SOSMail.java:594)
  at com.sos.commons.mail.SOSMail.sendJavaMail(SOSMail.java:475)
  at com.sos.commons.mail.SOSMail.send(SOSMail.java:471)
  at com.sos.jitl.jobs.mail.MailHandler.sendMail(MailHandler.java:112)

Desired Behaviour

• The MailJob should work correctly without any Null Pointer Exceptions.
