NPE when invalid data is provided

[martin-g]

With the current Java Math demo data in the KitchenSink application trying to show a summarychart leads to the following exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at java.math.BigDecimal.compareTo(BigDecimal.java:2554)
    at java.math.BigDecimal.min(BigDecimal.java:2665)
    at org.isisaddons.wicket.wickedcharts.cpt.ui.summarychart.CollectionContentsAsSummaryChart.minOf(CollectionContentsAsSummaryChart.java:163)

I use the following fix locally to avoid the NPE. Not sure it is the correct one though

     private BigDecimal maxOf(BigDecimal max, final BigDecimal summaryMax) {
-        return max != null ? max.max(summaryMax) : summaryMax;
+        return max != null
+            ? summaryMax != null
+                ? max.max(summaryMax)
+                : max
+            : BigDecimal.ZERO;
     }

     private BigDecimal minOf(BigDecimal min, final BigDecimal summaryMin) {
-        return min != null ? min.min(summaryMin) : summaryMin;
+        return min != null
+            ? summaryMin != null
+                ? min.min(summaryMin)
+                : min
+            : BigDecimal.ZERO;
     }

possibly not; what if every value is null? The result ought to be null,
but I think this code might give BigDecimal.ZERO.

returning null instead of BigDecimal.ZERO seems to do the job as well
