Java Programming

Hello folks,

Here´s the code:

public class TestClass {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		StaticNull _null_ = null;
		_null_.testNull();
	}

}

class StaticNull {
	
	public static void testNull() {
		System.out.println("testNull");
	}
	
}

I know that a static method belongs to the class, so you don´t need an
instantiated object of that class to call it. But in the code above, as
I'm calling the testNull method from a null reference, shouldn't a NullPointerException
be thrown?

Best regards,

Danniel
