event.stopExecution() in Before Form event

Is it normal that if you call event.stopExecution() in a Before Form event, it throws a java.lang.NullPointerException but doing something like form.abort("This event is done") it does not throw a null pointer exception ?

Is this the way its supposed to be ?

No it's a bug, stopExecution() should just (silently) stop execution of the event. abort() should abort execution of the form and show an error to the user.

Ok thanks for clearing that up.

I've replaced event.stopExecution with form.abort for now to prevent my server logs from being filled with pointless null pointer exceptions.
