When a field bound to a primitive property (e.g. double) produces a null value through converters, the Binder now returns a descriptive validation error instead of throwing a NullPointerException. Fixes vaadin#24253

When a field bound to a primitive property (e.g. double) produces a null value through converters, the Binder now returns a descriptive validation error instead of throwing a NullPointerException.
Fixes #24253
Description
When a
Binderfield is bound to a primitive bean property (e.g.double) viabind("propertyName"), and the field value becomesnullthrougha converter chain (for example
StringToBigDecimalConverter→BigDecimalToDoubleConverterproducingnull), the Binder was throwing aNullPointerExceptioninstead of showing a user-facing validation error.This fix detects primitive-typed properties in
bind(String propertyName)and adds a converter that returns a descriptiveResult.error(...)when the value is
null, preventing the NPE and surfacing a meaningful message.Fixes #24253
