@mnhock thank you for making your first contribution to Spring Framework.

@mnhock Juergen made me aware that this isn't unnecessary actually as it account for writing null if the value is null, which would throw an exception now. I did miss that as the method parameter is not @Nullable. Turns out it's old code that's called in many places. Thanks for the suggestion, in any case.
