Local fix

Problem summary

  • In the exit trace statement of the
    STConversionHelperImpl.toSTSupportedObject() API, the case of
    a resulting object being null is not considered and, therefore,
    is still accessed, which causes a NullPointerException to occur.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is/will be available that fixes the NullPointerException
    when tracing WLE.wle is enabled.
