      Coverity static-analysis scan found possible method call on null object in {{CredentialStoreCredentialSource.​getCredential(​)}}

      https://scan7.coverity.com/reports.htm#v16159/p11778/fileInstanceId=6803729&defectInstanceId=1776827&mergedDefectId=1388281&eventId=1776827-8
      The problematic piece of code is:

      credential = credentialStore.retrieve(alias, credentialType);
return credential.castAs(credentialType, algorithmName, parameterSpec);

      The retrieve() method may return null in some cases as can be seen in KeyStoreCredentialStore class:

      //...
final TopEntry topEntry = cache.get(credentialAlias);
if (topEntry == null) {
    return null;
}
//...
