Cannot serialize using literals when null included in expression

[giveadamakick]

I have the following update statement:

public Long apply(final SQLUpdateClause update)
{
    return update
            .where(MY_TABLE.ID.eq(id))
            .setNull(MY_TABLE.SOMETHING)
            .execute();
}

As part of my Configuration, I have an SQLListener implementation that logs all SQL generated using an SQLSerializer (so for the update statement above, serializer.serializeUpdate() is called). I call setUseLiterals(true) on the serializer I use.

This throws the following exception when it attempts to serialize the SQL:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Found no type for com.mysema.query.sql.types.Null
    at com.mysema.query.sql.JavaTypeMapping.getType(JavaTypeMapping.java:133)

    at com.atlassian.pocketknife.api.querydsl.LoggingSqlListener.notifyUpdate(LoggingSqlListener.java:106)

I'm able to work around this by calling configuration.register(new NullType()) on the configuration used when executing the update, where NullType is this class I created:

public class NullType extends AbstractType<Null>
    {
        public NullType() {
            super(Types.NULL);
        }

        @Override
        public Null getValue(ResultSet rs, int startIndex) throws SQLException {
            return Null.DEFAULT;
        }

        @Override
        public Class<Null> getReturnedClass() {
            return Null.class;
        }

        @Override
        public void setValue(PreparedStatement st, int startIndex, Null value)
                throws SQLException {

            if(isNotEmpty(getSQLTypes()))
            {
                st.setNull(startIndex, getSQLTypes()[0]);
            }
            else
            {
                throw new RuntimeException("Unable to set database column to null");
            }
        }

        @Override
        public String getLiteral(final Null value)
        {
            return "null";
        }
    }

Null is a pretty standard database type, so I think this should be part of the default supported types (defaultTypes in JavaTypeMapping).
