A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

for example I have a field like
```        {
        "name": "parameters",
        "type": [
          "null",
          {
            "type": "array",
            "items": "Parameter"
          }
        ],
        "default": null```
so it can have a null value but the avro generator generates a java getter like this
```public java.util.List&lt;Parameter&gt; getParameters() {
    return parameters;
}```
my problem is that when calling getParameters that returns null I get
```java.lang.IllegalStateException: order.getParameters() must not be null```


The nullability interop with Kotlin is acheived using the `@Nullable` annotation. Is there a way for Avro to apply that?

<@UQQEPAD61> I haven't found any reference to that

for now I'm using `order.getParameters() as List&lt;Type&gt;?` and it's working fine but I have to repeat that every time I call the function

Any good to ya?

We're using avsc files unfortunately not java :confused: I'll check however if there's a way to do so in the avsc file, seems setting default as null and type as nullable with the union syntax is enough

thank you very much :slightly_smiling_face:

also in that description:
&gt; Causes an Avro union with null to be used
which is the same exact thing so probably it wouldn't work anyway
