# ADR-0008 - Use NullAway for null checking

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2025-08-06

## Context

Our codebase uses `null` extensively to represent an absence of value or optionality of the argument.
We utilize nullness annotations in Java code and somewhat rely on IDE warnings to guide us.
However, the Java code we have is not fully annotated, which causes several consequences:
* IDE warnings can be misleading

	Error   struct {
		Type    string `xml:"Type"`
		Code    string `xml:"Code"`
		Message string `xml:"Message"`
	} `xml:"Error"`
	RequestID string `xml:"RequestId"`
}

// STSErrorCode type of error status.
type STSErrorCode int

//go:generate stringer -type=STSErrorCode -trimprefix=Err $GOFILE

// Error codes, non exhaustive list - http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRoleWithSAML.html

		return cfg, err
	}

	cfg.Enabled = true
	cfg.DialTimeout = defaultDialTimeout
	cfg.DialKeepAliveTime = defaultDialKeepAlive
	// Disable etcd client SDK logging, etcd client
	// incorrectly starts logging in unexpected data
	// format.
	cfg.LogConfig = &zap.Config{
		Level:    zap.NewAtomicLevelAt(zap.FatalLevel),
		Encoding: "console",
	}
	cfg.Endpoints = etcdEndpoints

			ID:      userid,
			Enabled: false,
		}, nil
	case http.StatusUnauthorized:
		return User{}, ErrAccessTokenExpired
	}
	return User{}, fmt.Errorf("Unable to lookup - keycloak user lookup returned %v", resp.Status)
}

// Option is a function type that accepts a pointer Target
type Option func(*KeycloakProvider)

// WithTransport provide custom transport
func WithTransport(transport http.RoundTripper) Option {

   * [reader]. For example, if the reader's peeked tag isn't readable by this adapter, it may return
   * a default value.
   *
   * If this does read a value, it starts with the tag and length, and reads an entire value,
   * including any potential composed values.
   *
   * If there's nothing to read and no default value, this will throw an exception.
