Qpid JMS client should throw port out of range exception, not hostname is null, when port number is too big

1) Create a connection with a big port number sh aac1_sender.java.sh --log-msg dict -b "localhost:567564562" -a "examples" javax.jms.JMSException: port out of range:567564562 at org.apache.qpid.jms.exceptions.JmsExceptionSupport.create(JmsExceptionSupport.java:77) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(JmsConnectionFactory.java:183) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(JmsConnectionFactory.java:165) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.ConnectionManager.<init>(ConnectionManager.java:83) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.CoreClient.createConnection(CoreClient.java:77) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.SenderClient.startClient(SenderClient.java:48) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.aac1_sender.main(aac1_sender.java:11) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: port out of range:567564562 at java.net.InetSocketAddress.checkPort(InetSocketAddress.java:143) at java.net.InetSocketAddress.<init>(InetSocketAddress.java:224) at io.netty.bootstrap.Bootstrap.connect(Bootstrap.java:96) at org.apache.qpid.jms.transports.netty.NettyTcpTransport.connect(NettyTcpTransport.java:118) at org.apache.qpid.jms.provider.amqp.AmqpProvider.connect(AmqpProvider.java:157) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createProvider(JmsConnectionFactory.java:253) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(JmsConnectionFactory.java:179) ... 5 more This is correct exception. 2) Add trailing "2" into the above command on port. (make it one digit bigger) sh aac1_sender.java.sh --log-msg dict -b "localhost:5675645622" -a "examples" javax.jms.JMSException: hostname can't be null at org.apache.qpid.jms.exceptions.JmsExceptionSupport.create(JmsExceptionSupport.java:77) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(JmsConnectionFactory.java:183) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(JmsConnectionFactory.java:165) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.ConnectionManager.<init>(ConnectionManager.java:83) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.CoreClient.createConnection(CoreClient.java:77) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.SenderClient.startClient(SenderClient.java:48) at com.redhat.mqe.jms.aac1_sender.main(aac1_sender.java:11) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: hostname can't be null at java.net.InetSocketAddress.checkHost(InetSocketAddress.java:149) at java.net.InetSocketAddress.<init>(InetSocketAddress.java:216) at io.netty.bootstrap.Bootstrap.connect(Bootstrap.java:96) at org.apache.qpid.jms.transports.netty.NettyTcpTransport.connect(NettyTcpTransport.java:118) at org.apache.qpid.jms.provider.amqp.AmqpProvider.connect(AmqpProvider.java:157) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createProvider(JmsConnectionFactory.java:253) at org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory.createConnection(JmsConnectionFactory.java:179) ... 5 more Same error as in 1) should be thrown.
