Problem:
This bug was raised for better tracking. The original, customer reported bug is 3851484. 

The bug states that IsValid operations on "integer" with "null" as the value returns a null pointer exception. 

Method:
Run the below code,
isValid("integer", javaCast("null", "")) 

Result:
Returns java.lang.NullPointerException 

Expected:
Should return NO (instead of exception) especially since isValid("numeric", javaCast("null", "")) doesn't throw an exception.

Workaround:
